The act of mimesis around a fruit. Where does the fruit clone come from? 3D printers? No! It’s somewhere in between the two ears.
Imagine. Imagine, that a fruit comes into being out of nowhere. But that comrprises a necessary void to form a fruit. Since, the void can be referred to as nowehere. But is a void sufficient to lend us a conception of a fruit? My polite answer is no. It does become a challenge to convert the particles or dark matter of a void into a tangible fruit with various properties, without having a concept of what is a fruit, and how does it look like?
So, to derive a fruit into the ether of imagination, we take what a real fruit is. But, here’s a slight caveat to this imagination.
The real fruit that grows on trees and shrubs, with the process of germination, irrigation, in a suitable climate, is a scaffolding to understand the broader concept that I bring forth to you through mimesis. There is the process and there is the raw material, and finally, there is a result, when the raw material, the seeds, go through the process of germination to become a tree, and therefore the tree bears the fruits, that are judged by the consumers.
This means that every process, with some input, bears a result, which is acknowledged and inspected by the people. The cause of the result, and the effect of the result coming to fruition, is what matters to the gentry. Thus, the fruit symbolizes the result.
Now, you might ask, “Result of what?” I answer it as the question points to what. “What is the derivative for?” should be the real question in my opinion. Or, even better, “What causes the derivative?” or “What causes the mimesis?”
One answer that I propose, is that it’s a derivative of a real concept of results that actions bear. Here, the actions are performed by agents of those actions, for example, a boy throws a ball in the air. The result of the action is that the ball flies, hovers, swings, whatever else it does in the air, towards a particular direction, at a particular speed, and where at last the ball lands due to gravity.
A projectile trajectory, and displacement of the position of the ball, is the result of the action that a boy throws a ball. This result denotes the same concept of cause and effect, when a seed is planted, irrigated, and germinates into a tree that bears fruits.
So, with this reflection, the scope of our mimetic fruit grows from just being the imaginative derivative of a real fruit, to having a conceptual backing of something denoting a cause and effect relationship between an action and its consequences.
