@fresco,
OK, if there no need to define such segmentation then doesn't the word "thing" via your brand of constructed language do just that, ie partition?

Vague thoughts, vague language.

@Chumly,
Agreed, "thinging" is "partitioning", but such partitioning is dynamically two way. The "hungry I" is co-extensive and coexists with a "food/non-food" partitioning. ( Charlie Chaplin eats his boot !). What constitutes "food" is dependent on the state of the conceptualizer and vice versa, but that argument can be applied to all "things".

@Zetherin,
...such is the problem of trying to transcend language with language !

I like zetherin's response, I like fresco's response and I like spendius' response. It's an equilateral triangle of agreeableness eclipsing Pythagoras' theorem.
