"Does this particular experience bear some peculiar earmark which tells us that it is like the real tree while the others are unlike it?"
That paragraph is hard to understand, I can see why it was a problem for you. I think that this paragraph is trying to tell us the following: We can create several images to associate with the tree (up close, far away, night-time, daytime, sunny day, rainy day...in every case the tree looks different). If the tree has an infinite number of images associated with it, how can we say that one image is more "real" than another? If it looks blue at one time of day, but green most of the day, how can we say that the tree is green and not blue? Sometimes it looks blue. What is the clue (earmark) that tells us which of the images is going to be the standard one which will be call the "real" image?
Mr. I dont understand the last paragraph I get lost in the last question of the last paragraph.. can you explain me please?
