What I want to know, is the quest for TRUTH encompassing all truths?

In other words, does one need to understand all of the subjects in order to understand the object?!

One would argue, that yes indeed. In our quest for TRUTH, do we not need to seek out all the truths first?!

But I am of the mind that this is not necessarily the case. For example, take a number. Let's take the number 5. Now, what is 5? Well, it's a positive integer between the number 4 and the number 6. It's also 2 numbers after 3 and 2 numbers before 7. As such, it's an equivelent of 11 - 6; 12 - 7; 13 - 8; . . . and 235 - 230. It's also an equivalent of 5 * 1 and 100 / 20.

Now, are all of those subjective aspects needed for an understanding of the objective goal of determing just exactly what is the number 5? Are all those little truths needed for the quest of TRUTH?

So, how much knowledge is sufficient? And whichi s garbage? And how do we decided?! Or, is there something to be said for the man that knows that the number 5 is also the equivalent of every varitaion possible?

Sixx I think I know what your getting at but I dont think it is the right example. 5 what? 5 as itself is meaningless if I have 5 x then i have 5 of x 5 tells me quantity it is a tool nothing more, I dont need to understand any of the rest of functions of mathmatics to understand 5 those functions result in five but they are not the essence of 5. on the other hand what is x? lets say x is an orange now apply your reasoning. Your reasoning (and mine) is in relation to an object (or conceptial existing objects) math and english (read any language) expresses attributes of an object and are truths that make up the big TRUTH but standing alone they are nothing
