le than many objective things, so logical constructs are simple. Human pursuit of eternal truth is the pursuit of simplicity.
Materialists say that motion is absolute and unconditional, while stillness is relative and conditional. That may be true in physical world, but it's not what we want. Do you want Newton's laws to change every day? Philosophers regard the immutable thing as the Principle. So the logical constructs as subjective things are part of the Principle.
The Surangama Sutra treats these immutable things as sacred and explains them in great detail. That's why professor Jicheng Guo of China University of Political Science and Law said that the Surangama Sutra is deeper than Kant and Hegel. Objective Idealists believe that only things that are objective and true can be immutable, so they insist on saying that logical constructs are objective and true.
Some subjective things are stable and some are unstable, some objective things are stable and some are unstable. Humans need something stable, so they made up a lot of concepts and theorems. Humans have the ability to make stable things, then science was born. There are a lot of order things in civilization and culture that are stable things people made. They can be passed down from generation to generation. Who can say they are not stable if they can be passed down from generation to generation? On the contrary, many objective things are unstable. For example, the amount of water in a river varies from year to year, or even from day to day. You cannot step twice into the same river.
Objective Idealists arbitrarily assume that only objective things are stable, and subjective things must be unstable. So they treat stable subjective things as objective things. That's how Plato's Theory of Ideas came about. What's more, Plato thought that only stable things are real, unstable things are not real, so he believed unstable things in the objective world are not real. Heidegger said, "To Being, therefore, seen Platonically, permanence belongs. All that becomes and suffers alteration, as impermanent, has no Being."[3] If all that changes are false, then the son of a judge must be a judge, and the son of a thief must be a thief. If the son of a thief becomes a judge, he must be in pretence.
The concrete things in the subjective world is different from the concrete things in the objective world. Every concrete thing in the objective world has infinite number of properties, while the concrete thing in the subjective world contains only a finite number of properties, it is a logical construct. The more process people make on the logical construct, the more properties it contains. For example, the role of white snake in The Legend of White Snake was just a man-eating snake at the beginning, then through continuous artistic processing of her in various dynasties she became a flesh-and-blood and emotionally rich character.
A real car contains an infinite number of attributes, while for the average person, the logical construct of the car in the subjective world only has one shape and the attribute of running, excluding other attributes of the car, such as engine structure, tire, electronic control function, etc. With professional training, the properties of the logical construct of the car in the
