From birth to death,
I try to understand different things.
But, my ideas to understand the different things do not vary!
Do yours vary?
If they vary, you can never distinguish the different things!
X is distinguishable from Y only if you evaluate both with the same idea.

WHAT ARE THE IDEAS TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT THINGS?

Is it possible to list the ideas to understand the different things?

Such a listing will be greatly useful to the learners of philosophy and science.

are you asking for a description of the nature and structure of the assumptions we are subject to (and require) when perceiving the world around us?

I think you might find that there isn’t a list… I think it varies from person to person dramatically. (please see PoR and that cube person)

However, some common ones like language structure, one-way time, a finite life span, and the requirement of perception for external experience all spring to mind initially though.

Say there are two things x and y.
We know that x is different from y.
We differentiate x from y with a scale.
What is the scale to differentiate x from y?

And, if there only two things (x and y) to differentiate, then we can employ a specific scale.

Suppose, if we have to differentiate all things (including real and ideal) in the universe, what is the scale? What is that ideal scale to differentiate all in the universe?

To find whether the scale varies from individual to invidual or not, we have to analyse the following conditions:

  1. the scale varies from individual to individual.
  2. the scale do not vary from individual to individual, but there is a variation in the use of the scale from individual to individual.
  3. the scale do not vary from individual to indiviudal, and there is no variantion among the inviduals in the use of the scale.

I conclude that condition 2 it true.
