Interesting.  So what you are proposing is that I am a thought in some sense entirely?  But how would you know this?  It would seem as though this would need to start with you first.  You would have to know you are a thought, and then the issue would become moot at that time.

@Joseph Maynor you asked me what's "absolute originality "? I tagged you and attached my definition "the first thing ever ". I should've posted the quote underneath your tag.

Some relations are between parts and wholes, some parts pertain almost exclusively to some wholes and some wholes are almost exclusively associated with certain parts.

It is reasonable to expect intellectual inertia to pertain to such relationships, there appear to be two general ways to disrupt such inertia and both appear to potentiate or actualise originality. 

You could find a whole for which such a part could theoretically pertain (lateral thinking) or you could theorise from such a part-whole relationship a contingency on some external variable--that is not itself contingent on either of the part or the whole--such that the absence of biconditionality between the part and whole justifies theoretical relation between that part and a potential other whole.

In either case you have altered the implication between a part and a whole to a part and more than that whole, you have pluralised its application, relative to the rigidity of the initial part-whole relationship this is original.

How many examples are there of famous works of art where the inertia of a part-whole relationship has not been overcome, and when they are so overcome, by which process other than the two i proposed?
