Alex -- <<It's a core belief of mine that we are not capable of conceiving or perceiving Absolute Truth.>>

How very Heisenbergian. I happen to agree. If we cannot accurately track the motion of a single electron with specificity, how can we hope to "know" accurately the entire universe? Or, for that matter, a grape?

If I may speak scientifically for just a second - we build our models, we use them predictively, and if they fail to reproduce accurately the system we are evaluating we change them. A is A? A is a MODEL of A. And when you reach A'''''''''''''' ad nauseum, the result will STILL not be a totally accurate A. But it ought to be pretty damn close.
