Truth is the blanket term we give to everything that we are unable to show to be falsehood by proving that two rules that arbitrarily belong to a system cause a contradiction to occur. Which is to say, while truth is not caused by falsehood, that the concept of truth cannot preexist the concept of falsehood, just like the concept of darkness cannot preexist the concept of light.

And truth, in that sense, is very much like darkness - in that one single ray of light can render darkness imperfect, just as one single shadow of falsehood, can render truth imperfect; but only because light attempts to define according to its own qualities what darkness is, just as falsehood attempts to define according to its own standards what truth is - but before light, and before falsehood, everything is dark, everything is true, and nothing is dark, and nothing is true.

But in a post-light world existing as a creature that uses (visible) light to sense the world, I can experience only a fraction of what everything out there really is: whatever I believe to be true does not in the slightest way change the undefinable reality - but what I believe to be false, gives shape to everything that is reality is to me.
