Pure Truth consists of three key elements of Object, Location, and Time. This is also known as the Three Questions of Truth, the What, Where, and When. Understanding Pure Truth requires understanding each of the three elements of Pure Truth.
The first element of Truth is The Object (The What), and understanding Objects are paramount to understanding Antelism and understanding Truth. In this chapter the term Object will be explained in great detail.
What is an Object? An Object is “A Thing That Exists In The Universe”. We then must define what a Thing is and what Universe is. The Universe is simply all Reality, and Reality is all that is Real (All that Exists). With the Universe being understood, now we must understand what a Thing is. An Object is a Thing that exists in the Universe, and a Thing is anything that can be identified and isolated as its own entity.
The first and easiest example of Things are physical particles. Hydrogen atoms, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Gold, and so forth, all of these individual particles are Things. A Thing becomes an Object when it exists in the Universe. However it must exist in the Universe. A hypothetical particle is not an Object if there is not a single particle of it in the Universe.
The complexity of Things comes from the concept in Antelism that states “Multiple Things came come and combine together to create a distinct unique Thing”. An easy example is a water droplet. A single water molecule is a Thing, and a droplet of water consisting of many water molecules can also be viewed as its own distinct Thing, as well as a puddle of water, and a lake of water, and an ocean of water. Things can combine together to make other Things but still maintain its own identity. An ocean doesn’t mean the Object of an individual water molecule disappears, it just means that we have defined an Object as the combination of all the water molecules in a particular location.
Continuing with the water analogy, a Thing/Object can consist of different Things. A cup of water (a cup filled with water) is both an individual cup, an individual body of water, and a combined entity of a cup of water. In this instance the cup of water is its own distinct Object (if it exists in the Universe).
More complex Objects exist. Let’s go over an extremely complicated object of a computer. A computer is its own individual and unique object, but we can break that down more. The computer has a plastic case, a motherboard, ram, a processor, storage, power supply, and other electronics. All of those objects are their own unique objects that combine to create the object of a computer. However it goes deeper than that. A power supply consists of individual objects that make up the object of the power supply. A power supply has a transformer, diodes, transistors, capacitors, and resistors, as well as other plastics and metals inside those components such as silicon, copper, and gold. So we have diodes, transistors, capacitors, and resistors as individual objects that combined together make a power supply which is its own distinct individual object and that power supply combined with the other components make up a computer which is its own unique distinct object. But it goes further, inside a resistor contains plastic, metal, and carbon, all with their own molecules. So the combination of plastic is its own unique object, but then the individual plastic molecules are also their own individual objects. This concept of objects creating objects is referred to as the Layers of Objects.
(Note: Lowercase object means objects that can exist but don’t exist because we aren’t referring to something that actually exists in the universe but rather something that easily and readily can exist in the universe. There are already millions of cups of water out there, but saying a cup of water without referring to a specific cup of water is not an Object because an Object are Things that exist in the Universe, and the thought of a cup of water, while the thought itself is an Object, the cup of water is not since we are not referring to an actual cup of water in the universe)
The layers of objects goes from individual particles -> combination of particles -> electronic component -> computer component -> computer. That is five layers of objects. And depending on how an individual decides to view objects, they can have more or less layers of objects.
For example a sandwich. Two slices of bread and something in the middle. The sandwich is an object, the two slices of bread are their own unique objects despite both being the same thing (a slice of bread). This distinction shows that you can have multiple of the same objects together creating a different thing altogether such as the sandwich. The individual bread particles in a slice of bread are their own unique objects as well and are separate from the bread particles in the other slice of bread.
Combine this though with the water example of droplets. You can have an object that is a single water droplet, but multiple water droplets in isolation can be viewed as an object. Think about rain for example. Rain is nothing more than millions of water droplets coming down, and rain itself is an object but it’s made up of isolated objects that never touch or connect with each other. Another example is crying with tears, multiple separate water droplets coming from the eyes.
With the bread example one can think of a loaf of bread, but what if you cut up the loaf of bread into individual objects? If held together in a bag you still have a loaf of bread but its just sliced up, there is the unique object of a loaf of bread and then there is the unique object of the individual slices.
The Nuance (Refer to Definitions) of objects is extremely high. When referring to true Objects the nuance becomes exponential due to the aspects of Location and Time. An Object can be defined by its location and time. For example a sand particle by itself is a sand particle and can be an object, but it can be described as a sand particle on the beach of France, or a sand particle on a specific beach in France. Objects are tied to their location in time, and that hypothetical sand particle is tied to its location and time.
That is why a secondary definition of Truth is “Objects with respect to Location and Time” since all Objects have a Location and Time tied to them. It is a very useful model of Pure Truth to use to help with analysis and understanding.
