Random thoughts at 5AM. Im finding that truth is only absolute when it is dealing with an instance of binary structure, 1 or 0, TRUE or FALSE. From my perspective, there is temporal truth, the instance of understanding prior to further elevation, and absolute truth represent a point of truth in shared understanding of variables. Lets think of temporal truth as a plane, and absolute truth as points plotted on the plane. Example: The statement the sphere is round is an absolute truth of relativity, in that the observer of a sphere will find that it is indeed round, given our definition of the variable round and the term we use to describe it, sphere. In this example, the absolute truth point is the shared understanding between observers that if the sphere were not round, it would not be a sphere. The temporal truth is the undefined variables remaining that are based on our current level of understanding of these defined variables, where we have room to question what we know as absolute truth: If the sphere is round, based on our observation and definition, - what happens if it is observed differently, which was the method by which the original definition of its variables came to be. We now can improve our original definitions by taking in new variables that were once absolute from their stasis, and adding it to a compendium of understanding.
