Cheerskep claims that nothing meaningful inheres in the words or
pictures, that meaning is entirely contributed by the mind. William
says that the randomness of the quantum field (as in, everything) is
given perceptual order by our mental processes. Bishop Berkley asks
whether a falling tree makes a sound if no one is their to hear it?
You assert that nature is also a "highly organized human created
structure." And, of course, we don't know about Shrodinger's cat and
we cannot specify both the location and speed of the subatomic
particle, because our perception alters or determines things.
Derain said that before the painting is a nude or a warhorse, it is a
canvas covered with daubs of paint. It appears that paintings are
quantum fields, or living-dead cats, or soundless fellings until
someone looks at them. But more than that, they are paintings when
**I** look at them, because I still cannot be sure about what happens
when you look at them, either.
