sense-in-itself

The paradigm of Kant's judgement as a thing in itself--a single forma in the person's world interior.

The paradigm of Kant's judgement as distinct from Kant's AESTHETIC judgement.

The paradigm that sense has a structure unique and individual in a person that corresponds to plural structures outside of that self-same person.
Kant's sense-in-itself is known today as the forma...an orthogonality between the SET of twin-primes and the set of primes.

This orthogonality exists in the singular sense inside of a person and exists in the plural form in the individual's world-exterior. This confirms Kant's notion that not only does an individual contain sense but the world-exterior is made up of a person's senses.

The forma is in fact a structure-of-ethics..

thing-in-itself

Kant's thing in-itself is the set of twin primes that contains the set of prime numbers.

The requisite set can even include a single twin-prime..
Kant's thing-in-itself is the spinning-Euler-number.

Due to Euler's number even a single twin prime can contain the complete set of prime numbers...

This is because Euler numbers SPIN on the Athenic plane colors in Hinduistic time or cavitations in linear time..

The road to rome was paved in Italy

This saying means that you may not be in a certain state of being, experience or end point, but you are well on your way. An alternative is "The road to rome starts in Italy" which means that you are on the brink of your journey to an experience or situation and should get started or step away if you want/don't want to end up there.

It can be used with a positive bent but is more often used as a a warning or judgment that someone is on the path to something unwanted, harmful, life altering, undoable, or disaster.

As the saying originated from a member of the Appalachian diaspora the grammatical feature of X impact Y can be applied to this saying, (for example its colder than a witches titty could also be adjusted to its hotter than a pig in a frying pan), but the geographical implication must be clear to the listener.

In this case Rome was an influential empire that impacted everywhere it touched, rose with power and fell in disgrace and was generally both a place to gain favor, fame or fortuned, but also a place to be corrupted, backstabbed or run into a malignant unhinged dictator or be sold as a slave. Regardless, once there its impossible to erase the impacts of Rome and the time to turn around is before or while in Italy.

Teacher: "Go for that role. You really want it. The road to Rome starts in Italy."

Friend one: "I don't think I'm experiencing domestic violence, I should just stop complaining."
Friend two: "He called you a worthless ho who'll never amount to anything and then took your bank card and told you to stop talking to all over your friends."
Friend one: "But he doesn't hit me."
Friend two: "Girl, get out. The road to Rome is paved in Italy."

Mario was walking with luigi and Mario was telling luigi not to let him fall but luigi was being an ignorant slut and wasn't listening to mario. Mario tripped and fell and screamed very loud that the entire school heard and saw the incident. It was all luigi's fault ! mario decided to take off his heels bc he didnt want to trip anymore in front of the hot males running around the high school. Mario took off his heels and was exposed to the cca concrete and instantly got foot aids.

When Mario and luigi were walking home mario couldnt help but complain about his foot aids. Then he dropped his phone and the LSD card shattered and he ended up having to pay 105$ for it to get fixed. Then mario and luigi realized that mario was lactose intolerant and he couldnt handle the whip cream. He hoped it was just a fart, then luigi started making fun of mario and mario started laughing so hard that he peed his pants. Then mario and luigi got home and changed marios pants, but mario still had foot aids. Marios laptop keyboard started to stop working and mario thought he was cursed because he forgot he had foot aids. Mario then searched up how to cleanse yourself of your sins. Then mario started doing the actions and luigi started making fun of mario and told him to get out of his house. Then luigi realized that it was just his foot aids and wasnt mad at him anymore. foot aids
"Mario, do you have foot aids?"
"Yes, mario has foot aids."
