Believe in absurdities
Persistent delusion
Potent force
Religious marginalia found during an urban exploration illustrates basic questions of existence. Mystery is inherent in both the nature of things and the nature of rationality, as explanations consistently exceed the limits of comprehension.
“The easy confidence with which I know another man’s religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.” – Mark Twain
Mostly symbolic
National register
Preservation import
The question is not whether and how the assemblage of phenomena and the series of causes and effects, which we call the course of nature, has become actual outside us. The question rather relates to how succession becomes manifest for us.
“The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property.” – John Locke
Affecting stimuli
Aroma conscience
Volatilized compounds
Many overt messages that quickly pass-by on an urban exploration are value propositions of dubious esteem. Only actions that are freely willed are seen as deserving credit or blame.
“Each day has a color, a smell.” – Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

Final statement
Ephemeral interval
Unending subdivisions of both space and time produce ideas of infinitesimal and infinite processes. Aesthetics embraces a view of the universe that includes some uncertainty and mystery, while investing in time wisely.
“Here lies one from a distant star, but the soil is not alien to him, for in death he belongs to the universe.” – Clifford D. Simak
Continued succession
Of appearances
Bound to time
Artifacts and idealized narratives can become revenue sources based on enticement. Perpetuated through methods of display and diluted interpretation, tourist attractions construct narrow landscapes.
“The finite endures and resists inclusion within any arbitrary totalization.” – Michael Vater
Phenomenal level
Domain of the real
Immediate consciousness
For Schelling, primordial knowledge itself is equivalent to intellectual intuition. Such knowledge is identical with its object, as the subject becomes aware of itself. Pure space and time are not perceived in the ordinary consciousness, but are rather grasped through intellectual intuition in the unconsciousness.
“We do not act because we know, but we know because we are destined for action; practical reason is the root of all reason.” – Johann Gottlieb Fichte
Enough evidence
Measured empirically
Propounds the view
Out in the middle of the street, age and random crushing forms an aesthetic object full of curiosity.
“Alas, a few years ago, I should have said “my universe”: but now my mind has been opened to higher views of things.” – Edwin A. Abbott
Particular specified form
Certain divergent respects
Iteration identity sequence
In an attempt to augment individual uniqueness over sameness, names and numbers can help to establish a relational identity, as mere labels for a set of problems. Gottfried Leibniz established the modern formulation of identity, stipulating that x is the same as y if and only if every predicate true of x is true of y as well. Of course, truth is just as slippery as equivalence.
“Ordinary people are products of their environment and fit in. Artists transcend their environment and stand out.” – Oliver Gaspirtz
Repeated cycles

Different seasonal aspects
Narrowly focused on immediate and present conditions, the idea of time as consisting of endlessly reiterated oscillations is perhaps useful.
“Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.” – Kurt Vonnegut
