Part I. Effective-Meaning: Objective-Time
�1.a Iteration 4 page 4
We must remember that life is subjective insofar as it is not objective. That is, insofar as it does not see a unity of truth. Similarly, insofar as subjective perception is not objective it must change, for it cannot endure to such an extent that it becomes a truth in the world (so far as it endures, it is a truth in the world; any truth that endures in the world is an Objective-Perception).
Since we now know that perception must change (or die) in the Subjective World, we know that change is the positive quality of Subjective-Perception. That means that the Subjective World is Time: Change is what Subjective-Perception does or does not perceive.
Since Time is to the World as the Subjective is to the Objective, we can state that if Time is the Subjective World, Objectivity is the Subjective Soul. In other words, the subjective-perceiver only knows insofar as he perceives. So that is solipsism (doubt of perception or even lack of faith).
If we qualify Immortality to mean �an experience of all Time that may be perceived,� and we know that Time is the Subjective-World, we can say that if the subjective-perceiver perceives, he experiences death or immortality in the context of Objective-Perception. Insofar as the subjective perceiver perceives, or possesses Life, he must either cease to perceive, or cease to change. So either subjectivity is an unchanging quality that is not perceived, or it entails death.
Since an unchanging quality that is not perceived is meaningless in the context of subjective perception (that is to say, since the subjective condition changes, and immortality would entail that the change was perceived), we must conclude that insofar as a Soul is Subjective, it has a tendency to die or change in relation to Objective-Perception (whether or not Objective-Perception exists). We can conclude that Subjective-Perception involves meaninglessness in the form of a non-awareness of change or immortality (an absence of structure and pattern through time).
Now we can eliminate our third and fourth choices for the Effective-Meaning of Subjective-Perception:
When we say that Time is changing, we are saying that we perceive that Time is changing. To perceive that time is changing is de facto to perceive that something isn�t changing. To perceive something that isn�t changing is to have Objective-Perception. Since we need to define our axes in terms of absolutes, any case in which we say that the state of Time (or the Subjective World) is changing, is not a viable Subjective-World.~6 So we can eliminate the third option.
If all beings that change exist on the Time axis, and we can state that so long as Time is Alive it allows beings to change, we can say if Time is Dead it does not allow beings to

6. There may be other cases where the Subjective-Perceiver doesn�t know, but we aren�t interested in what the subjective perceiver doesn�t know�we are finding how the subjective perceiver is defined in terms of what it cannot know.
