zen Koan

A zen koan is an attempt to answer the question of whether a tree-falling makes a sound if no one heard it.

A zen koan concludes that a tree falling can only make a sound if two or more people vocalize it AFTER THE FACT in the ritual of language.

This follows Vikaas's rule some things can only be verified in retrospect even if the participants were not actually there...

Zen koan follows Wittgenstein's principle of language as a ritual; furthermore it confirms Vikaas's rule that the participating verifiers can come after the circumstantial fact...

The zen koan follows Wittgenstein's principle of the external participant; in contrast to the external observer in physics.

Because language is embedded in the universe as per Wittgenstein, simple discussion between two or more parties is enough to create MATERIAL fact; even if that materialization comes after the circumstance, per the Vikaas rule.
