The paper upon which it is written

Balder posted the following diagram here to represent perspectives (also below). I asked if the center was Khora, to which he replied that there is none since it is infinitely folding. I said:

When I said 'center' of the diagram our language suggests a point. But the idea of Khora is that it is spacing itself which pre-positions all points (or in this case perspectives), not any particular point in space. Hence as this diagram is infinitely and reiteratively folding, khora is that 'space between' whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere. Or as Wilber likes to wax poetic, the paper upon which it is written.

It is not only wild but a naughty knot. Or as I sang in one of my old songs, The Three Veils of Negative Existence:

That's right, that's right, nothing

And not just nothing, but no nothing
And not no nothing neither


 
Sort of like the 10 ox herding pictures, where after the path one again enters the common marketplace. And again, like the emptiness of emptiness (non)doctrine, or like our friend differance, the transcendental condition of all opposition. Interestingly, the values assigned to the three veils are 0, with three of them being OOO. Hence my current fascination with finding a homeomorphic equivalence with object-oriented ontology.
