Triadic philosophy defines reality as all known and unknown and thus
suggests that it is in itself impossible to fully describe or define. It is the
source of all signs. It is not opposed to anything like unreality or fantasy or
supposition. Reality may be approached somewhat as Moses is said to have
approached the burning bush. When he inquired, Who shall I say sent me? the
answer came back I am who I am and I will be who I will be. This suggests that
the nature of reality that we can perceive and know is now and beyond now and
this to me is a fairly clear suggestion of what Peirce means by the term
continuity. Regardless, it accords with truth. Now is all there is and we
assume the next thing. This is also the ground of the root value non-idolatry.
