I can see what you mean, Fredrick, but I'm thinking more along the lines of "grey bodies" or "different shades of grey," which have both absorptive and emissive qualities, to represent the infinite variations of relativity. If white is all colors and black is the lack of any color, then no color can be intrinsic/primary. All colors must be the result of variable mixtures of white and black.

If the name tab we put above the universal pyramid is labelled universe, we then have to explain the specific properties therein. To agree to the absolute as being divisional, I would have to know exactly what the parts consist of and what the space in between particles consists of. If they consist of the same non-substance, and naturally dependent upon this non-substance, then I won't agree in advance.

The absolute in context has to be independent, otherwise it must be relative. I'm sure you realize that the absolute I'm referring to in this thread is not the same as the absolute in statements like "the monitor is there, absolutely!"

I have to say that we're coming close to an agreement by your last statement, "And if we compare that state to white, then we can seriously consider the universe to not exist onto its own, but we cannot say that of the parts; they really are what they are (whenever they are)." Although, I have to remain stubborn and say that the mechanism for division is required if we are to declare the parts real, and not abstract parts of the abstract whole. Which is not easily accomplished, when literally considered, without disrupting the absolute state.
