I am always interested in the integration of Relativity and its associated ideas into our models of identity and relation, a program which has largely been ignored (our ideas about identity, location, relation and so on, in language, are still Newtonian). We have utterly failed, so far, as a species, to integrate the findings of Relativity into our models and language surrounding crucial aspects of thought and speech.
For example: The principle of non-simultaneity (no two observers ever experience precisely the same phenomenon due to their unique perspectives and world-lines). This has shocking results when integrated. It means something resembling “each observer is a partially independent universe of sensing and relation”. Since Time is essentially relation, this results in a astonishing perspectives and speculations when taken seriously.
