    You can either show it to me, or tell me about it.

    If you show me, it's a fact. If you tell me, it's a fiction.

    Which one is a statement in your universe?

    All statements are fiction in mine.

    And so far, only humans are known to make statements. (Although making
    fictions may not be pre-emptively humanity's domain.)

    So, yeah, we would seem to agree that the universe is mostly (entirely,
    to a precision of quite a number...) non-statements....
