Blurring

When time dilates, a strange phenomenon may emerge: Experiences and their customary "opposites" become indiscernible. We find ourselves asking "Is this food delicious or rotten?" and "Am I hot or cold?" We cannot say. We refer to this experience as blurring.

We believe blurring is due to ontological flux. Hot and cold are "opposites"; they are different. But they are also mutually reliant, mutually synthetic, mutually desirous, mutually constitutive, mutually extant; they are of the same spectrum, describing the same dimension (temperature) of reality. Hot and cold are the same.

But why does blurring strike under these conditions? How does the perceptual activity of flux "spill over" into an untheorized bodily experience? It may be that the conceptual categories which constitute our world are always already within our field of experience; you cannot know that hot and cold are the same without experiencing them as such. Body and mind, the most famous duality, are equally consumed by this event.
