Space and time are intuitions, and thereby, subjective. The relations among analytical things are bound by a different apparatus. This is little different from the geocentric and heliocentric models of the relative motions of the heavens. The same intuition that tells you the Moon is moving also informs the Sun's motion. There is a kind of elision between intuition and understanding, especially those expressed in semi-formal systems like language. We prefer decisive information, given quickly, and in otherwise agreeable forms. The subtle gives way to the obvious.
Are these words that you are reading right now? I don't just mean pixels on the screen implying some holographic reality beneath our notions of space and time. I intend that the true meaning of words are not within the words, but they point to the understanding of the word. We no more read words than we visit the Disneyland sign or mile marker 69 on some interstate. A quick spell for improving memory, or just telemetry analysis.
Intuition necessarily begets from a unity and has a fatal flaw. Everything from it are going to appear, at all times, to point in a certain and similar direction. This unity may not underlie or reflect whatever may be out there. It really just reflects the orchestration of itself and parts. It is shorthand for something, for being in the middle of nowhere, looking like a human, raised in such and such circumstances, witness to many great and unfortunate things. Much defies intuition, who cares if they add one more to the list?
