Ok some mixed rambled thoughts that sprung off from various philosophers stuck into a big sticky conglomeration that doesn't make much sense but anyway...

There is nothing outside the text... therefore the whole world is a text... therefore we read our surroundings in the same way as we may read a book or an artwork... Our surroundings then are shaped by the language of perceptions... language therefore shapes our perceptions... as we all perceive things differently we all speak different languages... the physical properties of the world work in someway to help shape or provide a framework for our perceptions... therefore the common languages of the world act as a framework for our own use of language providing a sort of meeting ground between perceptions which form a sort of layering of perceived reality.
Truth in the form of a translation... our own truth is found in how we translate the world-text... Yet as we cannot properly define truth with the framework of a common language our translations of truth are essentially false... Yet as it is a translation and perception true only to ourselves, it remains as a form of individualistic absolubte truth.
Thoughts are like a 'writing', even to ourselves they need to be derived and interpreted... This of course contributes to the theory of the world being a text, the physical environment is a text which we read as we interact with it, the social environment is a text constructed over a period of time by many layers of perception which then appear as the 'true' perception even when none of us can conform to such a text of morality... our thoughts remain obscure and we need to understand our thoughts continually... therefore we interact with our thoughts and read them as we might a book... As reading is a form of creating perceptions our thoughts are not pure or true... Descartes therefore is false perhaps?
The existence of all reality could be doubted... reality is merely a manifestation of our perceptions, there is no real way to accurately say what is true and what is not true, or to determine what is reality and what is fiction... reality is impossible to achieve therefore everything is fiction... therefore indeed is the whole world a text
Reality is not a gurantee of Truth... Even if reality was determined we cannot say that for certain there is truth in reality, reality may be the physical manifestation of our perceptions, truth hints at discovering some ultimate absolute reality... reality is at times shaky and uncertain, the world is a text of fiction, reality ceases to exist, existing only in the individuals mind so therefore certainly truth cannot possibly exist if reality itself is in doubt
The only thing that cannot be doubted is 'consciousness' because even in the process of doubting everything there still had to be 'something' that was doing the doubting. That 'something' is the 'thinking subject' or consciousness, not the 'person' but the 'pure thought', therefore I think therefore I am accoding to Descartes...
Hence thought becomes the empitome of truth and knowledge, regarded as the moment of 'absolute knowing'... However upon immediate interaction with the pure thought 'knowledge' will become contaminated once we need to communicate and translate that through a reading of the text or pure thought, therefore absolubte truth is unreachable and beyond our plane of perception, therefore only interpretation and translation and perception exist and truth and reality still do not exist.
Truth does not exist, the world is created through a layering of lenses of perceptions, creating a conglomeration of text, reality is made up of intertextuality and the absolubte ceases to exist
