4 colors.   3 changes.

White.  Purple.  Orange.  Yellow.

(I've seen it once or twice.)

Do I exist?  Get a tape, check it out.

Existence is confirmed when someone/something provides
you with information/input that one would not have
originated with themselves.  Ever check that in dreams?
If you want to break a dream you can't get out of, open
a book, try to read it.   All the pages will be blank.
It's kind of fun, especially when all the other characters
insist it's real.  Ask them to read from it, it pisses
them off.  (okay, so my dreams are kind of interactive
in a weird way.) You just can't quote text in your sleep,
no way.  (music on the other hand is a completely different
matter)

That's how to tell whether or not you're the only real being
present. No information, knowledge, or understanding is
available except that which you bring with you.  Hence,
finding something new and outside of yourself is proof that
more than yourself exists.
