Negotiation

The epistemological argument, because you don’t know the ‘origin’ of the tree and what came first, the seed or the tree, doesn’t necessarily mean that the origin is either arbitrary or ambiguous or paradoxical. The origin of a tree, not unlike the origin of objects and things also reflect an unknowable and/or the limit of an achievement of knowing or the extent of a knowledge base. This seems also true for the ‘origin’ of a language construct which is used to represent the argument, as such, related in the question ‘Where is the origin of one’s headache if not inside one’s head?’ The Authorship of one’s own creation, in the statement of individuality and originality and the paradox, that it is also not inside one’s head. The headache, was what was negotiated between the Existentialist and the tree. He carried his headache with him.
