The Vase:

Semantic & philosophical view

_a:

We can not undo that which is done, you can not un-break that which is broken, look at the floor there lies my shattered vase.

_b:

With enough patience, if we collect the thousands of shards of china, we can reconstruct it and put it back together again, even a broken vase can be repaired.

_a:

A repaired vase will always have cracks, these will never go away.

_b:

Then simply replace it, with another vase, if it looks the same, does the same, then truly it is the same.

_a:

Every instance of any vase ever created is unique, this substitute vase can never measure nor replace the uniqueness of the original vase, for it has its own uniqueness

_b:

Regardless of what a thing is, be it your vase made form china or a mountain made of rock, ultimately they are made up of the same fundamentals, if these two entirely alien things can be united and fundamentally the same, from where does your uniqueness claim its difference?

Technical View:

Some Transformations are unidirectional, and can not be converted back to its original state.

If enough information exists of any given state, we can reconstruct its original state with some negligible loss of information.

If a function exists that equates to the function of another system, they are identical even if their container or boundary are different

All instantiation of any objects are unique instances even if they share the same prototype.

If any set of dispersed systems can be deconstructed to the same root, then no attribute can exist to identify uniqueness.

Tangential differentiation occurs through a series of replication.

The result of which is mathematically unpredictable in the specific sense to an unknown degree.

Incremental differentiation often avoids detection.

The sum of that differentiation becomes more obvious as steps are added and the replicated is further removed from he original.

Fantastic! let me attempt to translate that to a semantic version:

The Story teller passed legends of days gone by, of mighter men, of courage and malice,

the words spread from village to village by word of mouth, passed down the ages, with every slippage of the uttered word, it transformed slowly to a story of weak men and cowadice and righteousness.

So fine and disjoint was the slippage of words from person to person, that the scholars could not trace the transformation, of a myth turned into a legend.

But those wise old men, whose forefathers had kept true to the first myth as told by the first story tellers, knew of its real character, in their age lies wisdom.
