Possible/Impossible Eyes
What are possible eye construction and impossible eye construction? Sub-questions naturally arise. Why do human eyes perceive from a top-down approach rather than bottom-up? What is the cultural impact of the perception of eyes? For instance, Eastern tend to perceive more vertically. On the other hand, Westerners tend to smell(?) more horizontally. Is it possible to construct higher-dimensional eyes or lower-dimensional eyes? What is the relationship between perception and eye construction? What is the ontological difference between human eyes and other species? What is the limitation of implementing biological eyes with computer vision? What is the reciprocal relationship between invisible light and visible and human eyes and perceptions? When do blinded eyes become better than visible eyes? . . .
Let's consider concrete examples.
'Maybe' it's a happy birthday
The picture above is an optical illusion of vision, but realistically, inner illusions may exist even within my existence. My existence exists as past, present, and future. The self that exists in each space-time can be the same being, or it can be a different being. When I look at myself discretely, I live in a zero-sum relative evaluation system. Then my existence will be evaluated only as a relative contradiction of the past, present, and future self. To do so, one must not simply cling to one-dimensional propositions but, at the same time, continuously and multi-dimensionally interpret oneself. In other words, my existence can only be interpreted as an independent and continuous us.

I/We: I make us, and/or we make me.
Chinese proverb: a Chinese farmer found horses, people told him he was lucky. He said “maybe”. Then his son rode one of the horses and broke his leg. People told him he was unlucky. He said “maybe”. Then a war started and there was a draft, but his son was exempt because of his broken leg. People told him he was lucky. He said “maybe”.
So, 'Maybe' it's a happy birthday, but not yet; we are still in illusion. Until we see 'maybe' in relation to 'absolute' happy birthday in Trinity, then we can say 'Maybe.' It's a happy birthday!
