On particle physics and cladistics (ie, if not if had been)

We discuss reality. It means that there are two different levels in this discussion: reality and discussion.

The problem with this fact is that “reality” and “discussion” are different by level., because it means that “reality” and “discussion” can’t fuse, ie, that discussion can’t catch reality.

If they hadn’t been different (by level), then there had been a “Higgs particle” and a “true tree of life”, but now that they are, there aren’t any such things.

If not if had been, the old lady would have shot the bear with the broom handle.
