I endorse the language used around me. Do you endorse the word "is"? 
Defend it.

Ex-actly.

Metaphysics is like art itself a language which can express many 
things internally.

Once again, going in circles. It addresses concepts within the 
discipline of metaphysics. Such is the nature of the epistemological 
interpretation of the external inherent to art.

I think once again you're trying to project your own theories onto me
