Does a chair exist?
A chair exists
because we see an object.
A chair exists because
the thing we see
we give a label,
which is a mental object.
A chair exists
because the label
is associated with
what the chair does.
What the chair does is
that it enables us to sit.
All things that enable
us to sit are chairs.
So is it true that
the thing I see
in front of me
is a chair if
I can sit on it?
No.
It is only
a chair if
its chairness,
it’s ability to
enable us to sit,
and the label
we assign in language
to an object
come together
to form a correspondence.
So existence is only truth
when we assign a
property or function
to a thing in language.
Truth is a physical property
and an assignment in language.
An assignment in mind
and a correspondence
in the world.
But is it true if there is
no correspondence
in the world?
No.
But it still exists
as mental thing.
So truth can only be truth
if it is referenced to the world.
Truth thus is not the
same as existence.
Truth is referencing
to the world AND
existence as a mental object.
