RE: Foundational Axioms of Truth: Existence and Consciousness

Yeah, similar, but for example focus is based on the perceiver, while color is there regardless of someone perceiving, motion too, etc. Color, motion, location, are accidental properties. They exist in the categories of being as possible to exist in substances, but don't exist in themselves.

    In other words, the perceiver must have color vision in order to see color? :)

      Well that's true... but what I'm saying is that focus is not a quality in the thing your looking at. Color, motion, location are qualities of the other things, and of perception like you say. I was just making the distinction about how some things are similar, but one is a model of perceiving what exists, while the other is about what exists, what is perceived.

        "The object is in/out of focus."

        Ergo, as stated, focus is a quality of the object.

        The object is blue.

        Getting past the language above, what's the point of the distinction you're making? How is it useful?

          No, focus is a quality of your eyes, not the object you're looking at lol.
