Truth doesn't contradict truth.

Is this statement necessarily true?

Is it fundamentally true?

hm...not in EVERY situation, but I would think most

truth is just a word
a human concept

what is cannot be represented in conception
concepts contradict, but contradiction is itself a concept

the manifold of the real has room for all paradox
and opposites co-incide with abandon

Truth which contradicts truth points out limitations in our understanding.

Newton's law of gravitiation is true, and the observed motions of planets are true, but the discrepancies pointed to Einstein's theory of relativity.

If Truth contradicts Truth, your understanding is not complete.
