Power
The insistence of naming objects is perhaps an unwarranted assertion of power over objects in an attempt to increase our domain. To take this to the extreme would require innumerable and mutable names for everything we encounter, or to name nothing at all. All of these three choices, which I have framed and created the false choice between, are a different sort of power. I leave naming aside and choose framing, through which a window is created, and of course the illusion of the window is that it allows insight into what would be a wall. In fact, the window actually obscures everything it doesn't reveal. What right does the window, and inferred wall have? Why have we chosen to view this metaphor in a two dimension space, when it actually doesn't represent space at all, but ideas, things without mass, time, dimension, or duration.
