    Suppose you are in a universe with only one object/thing. Can you define it? Or have I already defined it for you? Is there a relationship in this context?

    Now suppose you're in a universe with two objects/things. You are asked to define one of those two things.

    My question is; by defining one object are you also defining the other simultaneously? This is about relativity and relationships. Comparison. Because if there are only two objects in the universe i would imagine there is no other choice but to perceive only what information there is between them - ie. The information that pertains to the differences in state of being between the two objects.

    Now reconsider this universe where only two things exist - these two things are called "the self" and the "not self." What are you defining when you perceive? The perceiver or the perceived?
