From a search in this journal for "Theories of Truth" —

"According to a platonist  about arithmetic,
the truth of the sentence ‘7 is prime’ entails
the existence of an abstract object , the number 7.
This object is abstract because it has no spatial
or temporal location, and is causally inert."

— Alex Miller in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy 

"Causally inert? " . . . See Maori Chess.

From Didion’s Play It As It Lays :

Everything goes.  I am working very hard at
not thinking about how everything goes. 
I watch a hummingbird, throw the I Ching
but never read the coins, keep my mind in the now.
— Page 8

From Joni Mitchell —

"Don't it always seem to go . . . ."

From Wallace Stevens:

"Let be be finale of seem."

“The story bent and climbed and went into weird areas.
For instance, at one time Simon Peter was a cave-dweller;
at another, he only appeared in other characters’ dreams….”

— Keri Hulme on The Bone People

"Redgrave proceeded to focus on the end of Blue Nights ,
and Didion’s determination to maintain momentum after
the death of Quintana, when she and Redgrave mounted
their production of The Year of Magical Thinking . Here,
St John the Divine became a setting in the narrative of
Blue Nights  yet again – this time, as Quintana’s final resting
place in St Ansgar’s Chapel within the cathedral."

The feast of St. Ansgar is Feb. 3. See that date this year.

Necessity,
That's the maximum that a minimum thing could be,
There's nothing lower than less unless it's Necessity.

"If so much information is needed
to identify their expressive content,
then it’s obvious that the pictures don’t
