The true true is diff'rent to the seemin' true? said I. Yay, an' it usually is, I mem'ry Meronym sayin', an' that's why true true is presher'n'rarer'n diamonds. (6.1.187)
This quote reminds us of Sonmi's statement about truth and its "versions." In Zachry's language, the real truth is known as the true-true. Is it possible for even Meronym to know the true-true, though? Or is absolute truth beyond our capability?
