"Existence" to us is a part of us. Do you exist? Yes. See?

Each of the diverse parts is whole unto "infinity".

I'm a realist. I tried at one time to be a monist in the strict sense of the word, but I found myself losing my sense of common sense. I found I could acknowledge the Infinite within without having to deny my finitude. The surest and quickest way for a tadpole to become a frog is to live faithfully every moment as a tadpole.

What is the nature/substance of this "chaos" that distinguishes it from "infinity"?
