It's tough sometimes to see what is being built when there are only a few blocks, yet it is awesome to be able to look back afterward and have a decent understanding of the full path to completion.
The pork futures, for its degree of unreality has a disproportionate effect on the material and spiritual due to the actions people take relating to it.
Part of what makes lies as abominable as they are is that they exist but are themselves rejections or perversions of what truly does exist.
The unthing.
It came to mind on reading.
Something about the reality and unrealised reality of thought constructs also bothers, but this teller doesn't have the capability to pull the thread, if it exists as anything more than the normal disquiet that a dream is but a dream unless pinned down and taxidermied in text, oral speech or some other physical medium.
Well normal disquiet to one who has more dreams than dreams brought into the world.
Whatever else, it's nice to see something constructed which has an objective that isn't cognitive poison, and to barely be able to follow along.
Reflecting.
The nature of a book is plainly different to that of an oral story, the latter is characterized as 'living' yet is more ephemeral compared to the book. The book is lasting, but unread is dead until rediscovered.
Notably book or spoken word, if someone has thought of it once, it can be thought of again, yet for all the similarities in the patterns of thought people have, the particular manner is unique to each person.
The relationship between reality and perception is much more interesting than the distinction made above. Pointedly, there are aspects of reality that themselves only exist in tandem with our perception and experience.
E.g., campfires are, without human perception and experience, just a fire for all intents and purposes. But in the presence of humans who perceive and experience, other aspects of the reality of campfires, of what a campfire really is in a fuller sense, come to light. Campfires open up a space around them, a gathering space sustained by the limited heat and light they put out, their need for maintenance to keep them going, etc. So people gather around them and talk, play music, roast hot dogs, etc. And it becomes a sort of self-enclosed world where things outside of it fade into irrelevance temporarily. Current events, personal problems etc. are forgotten in the space opened up by the campfire.
If we separate perception from reality, we lose many rich aspects of what things really are and how they innately function with beings around them. Heidegger points out that if we ignore or separate the interplay between us and things, we are effectively reducing our metaphysical conception of things to the same sort of physicalist, materialist perspective that leaves the scientific perspective impoverished.

I look forward to this journey.

This too, came to mind after typing, reflecting.
The rock has more persistence than the rain.
I'll give a go at the open question:
Kinds and degrees.
Steam eventually becomes "air-moisture".
Degrees and metaphysical objects/entities also work well; angels, demons, and numbers acting over longer periods of time before breaking down.
Degrees also help with mind as participating in truth.
Death strikes me as an agent of degrees.
However... I don't know how you'd square this circle. I haven't seen anyone do it. But intuitively it strikes me as the right option to have both.

Irrelevant and wrong. This is the difference between a comprehensive, coherent metaphysics and rambling neophilosophical rhetoric.
Banned for both cluelessness and excessive retardery.
