Abstract
Nothing doesn’t exist. That is the First Definition of Plex — a scientific philosophy whose aim is understanding our understanding of the nature of nature. Plex does not attempt to understand nature itself but only our understanding of it. We are included in nature as we do “our understanding”, both scientific and informal, so we must understand ourselves, as well — not just what we think we are, but as we really axe, as integral, natural beings of nature. How one “understand”s and even who “we” are as we do “our understanding” necessarily is left completely open, for all that must arise naturally from the very nature of nature.
