• (axokxi) and I were discussing various things.

• What: Abstracted concept axis (the word itself is an abstraction)

  • Where: Spatial axis
  • When: Temporal axis
  • Who: Axis of personality

• How: Concrete graph of the intersection of two axes

  • Perspective and media are necessary for concretization
  • Why: a special case involving time within how
  • When how is abstracted into words, it becomes what, when, where, and who
  • Example:
    • The movement when throwing a ball can be explained by what and when (temporal and spatial axes)
    • When abstracted, it becomes an answer like “parabola” for what

(axokxi)

• When how is abstracted into words, it can be expressed as what/when/where/who

• Why is the causality of how

  • Everything in the world is a result of phenomena (why)

• why → how ≒ what/who/when/where

• The distinction between what/who/when/where is arbitrary

  • It is possible to consider inanimate objects as who or space as what

• It’s interesting that why, which is the essence of the world, is measured in relation to how

  • (Perhaps because humans have deductively explained science?)
  • (I wonder what would happen if we created language from a god’s perspective (inductively from why))
