Not such a bad idea when nothing else works, to redefine stuff so that it all works out, as a whole. To negotiate who, what, where, why, and how, one exists, if not to exist. I used to say that, "When the laws of physics, and math, fail, those of logic (philosophical consistency) still prevail." Instead of clarity, and precision.
A lot like a sequence of "socks" as alter egos, by which one may end where one started. The unenlightened, trivial case by "staying on the straight and narrow".
