Edgar,
Yeah, yeah, but as you know, it's nothing at all until perceived.
There is no before and after, to the perceiver. No special status that the
illusion has, while it is not yet perceived as This Mind. Only the perceiver
gets to make the perception.
You're trying to be on two bases at once. Only the perceiver can judge the
character of things. You may not do so. You are not an Umpire, Edgar!
In fact, there is no theory.
