Mark,
Conventional (static) truth is relative, as in:
"The Buddhist doctrine of the two truths differentiates between
two levels of truth (Sanskrit: satya) in Buddhist discourse: a "relative"
or commonsense truth (Pāli: sammuti sacca), and an "ultimate" or
absolute, spiritual truth (Pāli: paramattha sacca)."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_truths
or from the MoQ Textbook:
“Intellectual values include truth, justice, freedom, democracy and,
trial by jury. It’s worth noting that the MOQ follows a pragmatic
notion of truth so truth is seen as relative in his system while
Quality is seen as absolute. In consequence, the truth is defined
as the highest quality intellectual explanation at a given time."
You can do a search on [ Buddhism - convention truth - relative ] to find
'relative' is a commonly used descriptor. Of course, if you prefer to use the
word 'relational', please do so.
