 * ―Urag gro-Shub[src]

I don't recall the context of Urag's statemet here, but it gives me an idea. In philosphy and logic, there's a position on truth which is known as dialetheism. In short, dialetheism holds that there can be contradictory statements whose truth-value is both true and false simultaneously, known as "dialetheia". This position is most often motivated by the desire to address self-referential paradoxes such as the Liar Paradox:

"This statement is false."

Is that true or is it false? It just goes round & round. Dialetheism lets us say that the above statement is both true and false, and it seems to make sense here when you think about it! Now, my thought is that maybe the Elder Scrolls could be an example of a dialetheia, following from Urag's statement that even the Scrolls' falsehood are true. How this would work, I'm not yet sure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But now that I think about it, maybe this would fit even more for Dragon Breaks, since the events in one both happen and don't happen (in a sense). What do y'all think? xD
