Objective: Â To use jigsaw puzzles as a parallel process for the study of the levels of reality.

 |
| First thoughts. | A daunting beginning. |
 |
 |
| A survey of ontologies. | This is going to take forever. |
 |
 |
| Second thoughts. | This is taking forever. |
 |
 |
| Second thoughts adjusted for daily life. | Birds migrating. Â … Â Or showing off. |

| The Ape Con Myth lies within the constructed levels. From its perspective, the landscape of reality is a more basic affair. The abstract is blurred out in favor of the concrete; the ideal forsaken for the real. The possibility of the unknown is lost to controlled calculations in search of predicted results. |

| Self explanatory? | From left to right, vegetation = material, water and sky = mental, and man-made structures and dividing lines = social. |

| The level we’ve spent far too much time on. | By far, the easiest table. |
 |
 |
| The most underutilized resource on the planet. | A study of the blues. |

| Click for the “answers”. | By far, the most frustrating. |

|
| There are a lot of pieces. Many look similar and share like qualities. They are all connected, but most of them do not go together. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
| Everything is subject to change. It’s sand castles as far as the eye can see. |
Moving into the final phase… |
 |
 |
| That is the question. | There they are… |
 |
 |
| This isn’t the answer, but it’s what we are dealing with nonetheless. As such, this is the territory Ape Con Myth will explore. |
Somehow, only 13 pieces were missing. |
