subjunctive





somewhere between it being so, (indicative)
and saying something to make it so, (imperative)
is entertaining the notion that it could be so. (subjunctive)



Reflects the tripartite experience of the world as it is, the actions we use to change it, and the thoughts that dream the possible worlds.


Or: the outside world, interfaced through our actions, to our minds.


In a world of received perception and directed action, the subjunctive, being as murky as the mind, is the easiest to miss.
