You can map some questions to statements which have binary (maybe trinary , etc...) truth values:
Is the cat black?
Maps to:
The cat is black (with a truth value of true or false). — Devans99
There are many varieties of 'black' in the real world — A Seagull
An unknown that relates to it. — Mww
how would you say the unknown relates to the question? — Daniel
I agree with you. I'd like to know why you think questions need self-awareness to exist? — Daniel
what is it in a nascent question which requires self-awareness for such process to exist (to begin; to continue)? — Daniel
An unknown that relates to it.
— Mww
↪Mww I agree. I'd like to ask you, how would you say the unknown relates to the question? How is a question something about what is unknown? Does the unknown act directly on the question or does it act on something else from which the question then arises? (they are all kind of the same question) — Daniel
There are no unexpressed questions? — Banno
I guess....in the most basic sense, the query presupposes the conception in the subject of the response relates directly to the conception in the subject in the query. The response “the color of the dining room is 14ft”, is incoherent with respect to the question “what color is the dining room?”. — Mww
Conservation of energy. — 3017amen
I am asking you what it is in the self awareness of an individual which is required for the existence of questions? — Daniel
Well, if it is an unexpressed question, ipso facto it is a question... — Banno
There must be something that turns the metaphysical substance (energy) in your theory into physical ideas (or something you recognize). What is it? How do you become aware of the question? — Daniel
I understand you are saying that the question, the unknown which causes the question, and its response are all logically (causally?) related. — Daniel
If it is, what is it that judges the quality of their relationship? — Daniel
