Subsumption and merger are the two faces of an all-embracing unity; joinder traces the bindings of that flawless continuum of meaning. No talk grand enough to escape beyond, no talk fine enough to hide within. The complete case, What-Is.
A description that goes beyond the lines of the named is a description of both that name and another. What is described is what is described, so the other name is what it is, or the description doesn't go beyond the lines of the named. This is termed the joinder of names.

What is talked about is talked about how it is talked about, by name and description. A name subsumes its elements, description presents those elements. A partial description that stays within the lines is a lesser included, hence there are lesser includeds of lesser includeds.

As what-is is complete, so it wholly subsumes what is talked about. What is wholly subsumed is termed a lesser included. Lesser includeds merge as the broader account. That which has excluded elements is not a lesser included.

What one talks about is what it is, so it is of what-is. There is no talk grand enough to escape beyond what-is, nor fine enough to hide within what-is. Such talk would fail to talk about what it would talk about. Therefore it must be said that what-is is truly complete.

One only talks about what one talks about, so that which is other than what one talks about is not talked about. The premature thinker talks about what one talks about as though it were what is not talked about. Such talk is a plant without roots.

One's existence is one's identity. To exist is to be of what-is, and to be of what-is is to be what one is. To separate existence from identity is an irredeemable error, such that one says "there is something of what-is that is not what it is" and "there is what is not."

What one talks about is what is talked about, or else one hasn't talked of it. If it serves as such, then it must be such, or it wouldn't be what one talks about. So it is what it is and questions only regard what it is. Those who stray from this holding speak nonsense.

Replying to @HEPennypack1
Go harder: there cannot be a "reason" for existence, full stop. What is is. No mercy. 🥷

MingJia/School of Names supremacy confirmed. All 99 other schools of thought are downstream of whether a white horse is a horse.
The relation of the name to the thing is greatest philosophical problem.

Morality is rooted in identity/the nature of life. Hence there is wisdom in sayings like "Know Thyself". Low-tier apologists, full of angst and desperate to remain relevant, only obscure that genuine morality by insisting it must be chained to their incoherent "god".

When religious doctrine is demonstrably incoherent, "miracles" must seem like a very appealing way to market the faith to outsiders. Yet no miracle will ever render gibberish meaningful. Apologists cannot rely on such tales to cure blatant philosophical defects.

This is @Tweetophon’s labor of love! I adventured through the original non-illustrated version, and it is very, very good. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get their metaphysical socks knocked off.

Do Platonists actually maintain this position, "Everything exists"? Try testing it. Ask a Platonist "does yesterday exist" and see how long the wagon stays on the road.
When Butler says that “For Platonism, everything exists. The question is how”, that is as Parmenidean as you can get, based on Unity as principle of individuation. Platonism can be seen as trying to prove Parmenides right by providing the conditions for Truth itself.

I forgot the best part, all of the Greek appears to be garbled nonsense, at least to my untrained eye. Example in first pic, loeb of cited text in second pic.
