A zen koan is an attempt to answer the question of whether a tree-falling makes a sound if no one heard it.
A zen koan concludes that a tree falling can only make a sound if two or more people vocalize it AFTER THE FACT in the ritual of language.
This follows Vikaas's rule some things can only be verified in retrospect even if the participants were not actually there...
