*What seems likely is that Terence was not only contending that the universe is a genetic, extra-dimensional, interspecies verbal construct, but that it exists primarily as a result of our [[consciousness]] of it. What he may actually have been implying is, "the world is made of [[imagination]]". There is, after all, a possibility that when it comes to consensual reality, we're making it up. [[All]] of it. And language is the universal medium by which we identify and explain our creation to ourselves. Language lends reality to reality.<br>I do recall hearing Terence say once that everything in [[nature]] has [[stories]] to tell; not just [[scientific]] [[information]] to impart, mind you, but something akin to plot-line narration, if one is equipped to "read" it.
