%X What remains of presence and use in the universal dark (or perhaps, after all, in a too luminous, sight-blinding place), when mirrors are traceless as if without glass, when eyes are both mindfully and senselessly strained: wakeful but not ultimately cognizant enough ¡ª being a splendid spark at best, but incapable of self-illumination and shedding light on existents as if (situated) in themselves ¡ª, when no reflection remains within and without? Indeed, only that exceedingly singular, somewhat pre-existent (i.e., pre-reflexive) Motion and Moment without reflection inheres, which is our characteristic redefinition of Noesis or Surjectivity. This, since Reality can in no way be reduced to Unreality, even in such noumenal darkness where existence and non-existence are both flimsy, for otherwise at once ¡ª at one universal Now and Here ¡ª all would cease to exist, ¡°before before¡± and ¡°after after¡±; and yet all that, nay Being itself, already exists with or without (the multiplicity of) reflective attributes, i.e., without the slightest chance to mingle, by both necessity and chance, with Non-Being and hence with multiplicity! That is simply how chanceless Reality is in itself, suddenly beyond both the possible and the impossible, such that even Unreality (as it is, without history),which is a lingering ¡°backwater part¡± of the Universe after all, can only be (i.e., be ¡°there¡±, even if that simply means ¡°nothing¡±, ¡°nowhere¡±) if and only if Reality IS , i.e., if Reality is One even without operational-situational sign or space in the first place, andnot the other way around. Such, then, is what chance, i.e., the chance of reflection, may mean in the Universe ¡ª and not elsewhere: Reality is such that if it weren¡¯t Such, both Reality and Unreality would be Not, ever. He who fails to see this at once ¡ª as One ¡ª will not be able to understand the rest of the tale, Here and Now (or, as some say, ¡°NowHere¡±, ¡°Nowhere¡±, or as Wittgenstein would have put it, ¡°senselessly¡±), with or without the Universe as we commonly know it. ¡ª A first self-query in epistemic solitude.
