"encore performance" may be a euphemism for a rerun.

circumbendibus?
an assemblage or occurrence of diverse elements or fragments in unlikely or unexpected juxtaposition

when making a collage, first one clips all the pieces one considers useful, and collects them...

my experience here has shown that this can be an interactive process of playing off dialogue with others to collect snippets...

I suppose i can let the pieces sit; whatever images X out by the time I am equipped to handle creating relationships between are simply not meant to be involved; adding a decay factor

The problem of universals is an ancient problem in metaphysics concerning the nature of universals, or whether they exist. Part of the problem involves the implications of language use and the complexity of relating language to ontological theory.
application?
A potential example of absolute truth in action form is:

The words you are reading exist because of absolute truths in action form supporting their ability to exist.

Attentive readers will recognize the previous statement as an absolute truth in state form describing absolute truth in action form. Whether or not the statement is true is left as an exercise for the reader.

An interesting paradox arises when someone refutes the existence of any absolute truths. Their statement might be something along the lines of:

There are no absolute truths.
