Is there context to a slap in the face?

😂 I hope there is context for that. But imagine having an experience with zero context, that would be the ultimate mind fuck 

[Natasha Tori Maru]

Slap in the face without context - a sound and a feeling - a slap and a sting!

Slap in the face with context - what happened (intent), who did it (status, relationship), where & when (setting), what it means (interpretation) 

Adding to our definition ?

That's still within an experiential context, the sound and the feeling, or the slap and the sting. It's context dependent on their being sense organs to experience a slap, sound, feeling and sting.

A context doesn't have to be a story or many stories, it could be the unnoticed background that hums of experience

The second example you gave is conceptual and psychological overlay on top of experimental Context 

I would argue that the second example is actually an example of a context of a context - the hologram from earlier

It's no matter - no one knows what context is - we won't get there. So any half baked ideas are part of the contemplation

Context is the entire web of existence! There is no outside context, it's the whole game. You are part of it, your not separate looking at it.

Context is a field, a massive web of infinite possible distinctions all in a impossibility space if that makes sense

Here’s one for you : what is the point of a concept?

It's all about context:

Any given context brings forth sets of assumptions with it, as I currently see it.

That's powerful. Just like any given culture will install unique assumptions to its people. Anyways, we also need to breakdown what assumption is  

Understanding never ends really. True understanding should also be directly related to how much love do you feel in your life. Sure, question that too. Whatever your intuition tells you is best to follow.

Sounds good, thanks. Assumption could be left for another time, though. In any case, the nature of context is still up for grabs.
