...beyond observing that some law of logic should fix the number of coincidences, in a given domain, after which they cease to be coincidences, and form, instead, the living organism of a new truth {"Tell me," says Osberg's little glitana to the Moors, El Motela and Ramera, "what is the precise minimum of hairs on a body that allows one to call it 'hairy'?"}
The excerpt highlights a philosophical inquiry into the nature of coincidences and the formation of truths. It suggests that there exists a logical threshold where a series of coincidences can shift from mere chance events to an established reality, akin to a living truth. This raises questions about the boundaries of perception and understanding in our quest for knowledge.
In the narrative, the character Osberg's glitana poses a playful yet profound question regarding the definition of being 'hairy'. This inquiry not only reflects an absurdity in trying to quantify subjective experiences but also prompts a deeper contemplation about how definitions and truths are constructed over time through societal norms and personal interpretations.
