The two unreal elements do not stand out.&nbsp;&nbsp;Of the latter, one is not ruled out.&nbsp;&nbsp;The \u2018unreal being\u2019 is&nbsp;<em>an existent that must be regarded as if it does not exist<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The other is ruled out as impossible.&nbsp;&nbsp;The \u2018unreal nonbeing\u2019 is&nbsp;<em>a nothing<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is like&nbsp;<em>a whisper in an empty room<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Slide16.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

\u201creal\u201d in the world of hand talk (before&nbsp;<em>Homo sapiens<\/em>) and hand-speech talk (from the appearance of&nbsp;<em>Homo sapiens<\/em>&nbsp;to the first singularity).&nbsp;&nbsp;Why?&nbsp;&nbsp;How can anyone picture or point to \u201creal\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;The term \u201creal\u201d is an explicit abstraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0086 So how do I apply the term to&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My suggestion goes like this: \u201cReal\u201d is&nbsp;<em>what can be conveyed through word-gestures<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Since word-gestures image and indicate,&nbsp;<em>what they picture and point to<\/em>&nbsp;can be matched to our current term \u201creal\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;The real is&nbsp;<em>whatever can be imaged or indicated<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;This results in the following matrix of real and being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a

elements that are hidden<\/em>&nbsp;are&nbsp;<em>nonbeing<\/em>(nonexistent).&nbsp;&nbsp;Of these, one is less hidden than the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me,&nbsp;<em>real nonbeing<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>unreal being<\/em>&nbsp;have similar sensibilities.&nbsp;&nbsp;As soon as I think that an \u2018unreal being\u2019 is possible, then I imagine that there must be a way to point to it.&nbsp;&nbsp;The way to point to it may be nonsensical, but what is the alternative?&nbsp;&nbsp;The way to point to&nbsp;<em>a being that cannot be pointed to<\/em>&nbsp;is by treating it as if it were&nbsp;<em>a nonbeing that can be pointed to<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0088 In other words, in hand-speech talk,&nbsp;<em>unreal being<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>real nonbeing<\/em>&nbsp;may be two sides to a single coin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Upper Paleolithic, people were not rich, but they did carry a few items of value with them.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some of these were carvings of animals or people.&nbsp;&nbsp;What were these images pointing to?&nbsp;&nbsp;Obviously, the carvings imaged beings.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, just as obviously, the imaged beings were no longer present.&nbsp;&nbsp;Similarly,&nbsp;<em>what is no longer present<\/em>&nbsp;could be imaged and pointed to in hand and hand-speech talk.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps, the image was of a real being, that became a unreal being, but is now a real nonbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0089 So maybe, the matrix should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a

to<\/em>&nbsp;goes with content.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The being that cannot be pointed to<\/em>&nbsp;goes with situation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then,&nbsp;<em>the nonbeing that can be pointed to<\/em>&nbsp;goes with
