If perhaps the (2,3) point is not made clear by Pywackett Productions, then consider a wonderful movie, “Your Name.”(2016) by Makoto Shinkai.

SPOILERS ABOUND

At the very end, the last scene, Taki and Mitsuha finally meet on the steps to the Suga-jinga shrine in Tokyo. But because they cannot remember each other, they pass on the steps, Taki climbing up on the right, and Mitsuha descending on the left.

 

The Suga-jinga shrine, and these steps actually exist and look something like this:

 

Because they don’t know each other, they are at first embarrassed to speak, but at the last minute, Taki turns at the top and says one of the most clichéd lines in all romance stories. Mitsuha then turns and responds. And in unison, they ask for “your name”.

 

A genuinely beautiful anime film, considered the best or close to the very best anime of all time.

On ANN, the film carries a rating of 9.078 and a 9.08 on MAL.

This is a very good scene as an example of the (2,3) point, where the imaginary touches the real, and has become something of a shrine itself to be visited by fans of the anime.

It is doubly  intentionally ironic, in that the Suga-shrine itself, is an example of (2,3) where the divine touches the real.

The (2,3) point activates your feels, and floods your emotional self with wonders and warm and fuzzies. For all of our history, these points have been blindingly brilliant, and overpowering. Religions and religious movements originate in these (2,3) points. Moses and the burning bush being a very famous example.

But the universal bottom line is that our deep feels are touched which is the essential point of the (2,3) point.

A further issue is that this schematic is infinitely reductionable in that, imagine a ghost story where an imaginary MC encounters an even more imaginary ghost.

Within the story, the MC is real, and the ghost is imaginary, which then produces a more abstract (2,3) point. And certainly there is no limit to this back abstraction process. The ghost could even imagine a ghost, etc, etc, etc………..

Imagination has no limits!

The imaginary is totally beyond all the laws of physics. Cause and effect cannot effect the imaginary, but the imaginary, by inspiration of human emotions, can then become a First Cause, that is uncaused.

Akari is constantly moved by the Imaginary forces of Aqua, and her feeling reaction to this emotion, then makes her the wonderful person that she is.

All persons who allow themselves to be moved by the imaginary, can then approximately approach that imaginary. I.E. You see a character do something on screen, and then in your life, you are inspired to become like that MC and then to do that very same action.

The Imaginary then moves the Real.

This is a function of Belief, the acceptance of the Imaginary into your life.
