Hi Ham, responses to some paragraphs below: First, let me say that I agree with your interpretation of the subjective, it is like mine.

My use of science is simply to provide analogy. There is no reason why such a thing is not useful. I am not suggesting any discovery, simply explanation with mutually acceptable terms. I am fine with diffracted image (which is scientific, by the way). So, back to my question, please provide an analogy for this diffraction process. Negation doesn't work for me. Thank you for refreshing me on the profound insights. I tend towards ones I get from Lewis Carol's, Alice in Wonderland. Profundity is not held in the sentence, it is realized or differentiated by cognizant experience. I will leave it at that for now.
