Everything that is relative turns into background reasoning, base foundation, some comparisons strengthen, others weaken. The strongest thoughts survive through meticulous pruning. This yields the idea of absolutes, but that's also the problem from the onset. All that pruning is either relative to context or .. eventually yields self reference?

Absolutes in that regard, I would think, would use less energy, eventually. Or it's always the same thing. Comparing absolutes to relatives. What's absolute is relative, what's relative is absolute, hm, nonsense, maybe.
