If ‘the world’ is like a ball of tangled string, & infinite, then no theory or system is ‘true’ in the sense that it applies throughout the system (that is the system made up of humans & animals, & time & things, & their inter-relations, as well as the rest of the universe). There are infinitely many perspectives, infinitely many directions, including those for time
‘Truth’ in our limited sense is something that explains a puzzle, straightens out an infinitesimally small bit of the tangle – and may cause another tangle somewhere else in the already tangled mass (from VI 16 1991)
