I'm saying that the process can also stop by the inquisitor and the answerer both realizing that meaning, life, and aesthetic qualities might be unexplainable because they are all different frequencies (literally, btw) of the same Absolute thing - which is what I call sense (aka primordial identity pansensitivity). Not just an open ended magical "Nameless" possibility or "Vacuum Flux", "Energy", "God", "Unity", "Laws of Physics" or "Love", but a scientifically accessible meta-property with specific capacities and limitations.
