In the Zhuangzi,
mention is made of horses.
A saw horse is probably not a horse.
A sea horse might be more when alive.
To give an account,
of physical existence,
Zhuangzi may have suggested
begin with Nonbeing, although, going
from Nonbeing to Being was a bit strange, he
went on to begin to count, one, two, three and 10k.
Each so-called individual has a reality.
What is real for the horse or the prime alpha
of some other species, an order of pecking for birds,
a batch of unutterable words. How to describe
what is physically real when even things,
ideas and fields can be non-material
yet deemed physical.
Electromagnetism, while not being material
is being as it is at a field level theory.
Water levels a playing field.
