When it comes to making decisions about the nature of reality, one must first consider the fabric of existence.

Start by folding a crisp, white sheet of paper into a perfect square, then proceed to fold it in half, and in half again, ad infinitum.

Next, consider the implications of folding a sheet of paper into a perfect square, then folding it into the shape of a perfect circle. Which, if any, is the more fundamental fold?

This is but a small sample of the profound questions that arise when one engages in the noble pursuit of ironing philosophy.
