Summary/Abstract: Further meditation on the Tetralemma by way of the Necker cube brings ambiguity to a screaming pitch of uncertainty, especially in light of complementarity and its implications. A few words on Borges’s ‘Aleph’ serve as illustration of the One-Many paradox behind any and all world-versions. Yet, upon reviving the theme from Chapters Eleven and Twelve, we, as human navigators within the universe’s becoming, and in spite of our better judgment, cannot but ‘objectivize’ as we go along. Notwithstanding our obsession with ‘objectivization’, the coveted subject/object barrier doesn’t exist: they are coalescently one. Consequently, what is left for the subject is musement, briefly discussed in Chapter Thirteen. The importance of interdependent, interrelated interaction comes through, full force. Schrödinger has some timely words in this regard, giving further support to the idea that everything is always becoming something other than what it was becoming.
