Fortunately for existence as we know it, we are incapable of considering
all aspects of something simultaneously.

From this comes the concept of "context", and this leaves us with the
question of how large a context we should (or can) choose when
considering a particular thing.

Is it appropriate to consider (say) only the 'musical' aspect of a sound
and not the linguistic aspect?

Tales of omiscient beings often overlook this. Imo, existence would be
boring and meaningless if we were limited to knowing and considering
everything simultaneously.
