Tlön

Tlön is a fictional world from Jorge Luis Borges' short story "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius." It describes a highly detailed, imaginative planet where every aspect—philosophy, language, nature, and culture—is shaped by an idealist worldview, emphasizing perception and thought over physical reality. The inhabitants' beliefs and language influence their understanding of existence, blurring the line between reality and imagination. The story explores how ideas and cultural constructs can shape perception, raising questions about the nature of reality and the power of belief. Tlön serves as a thought-provoking metaphor for the influence of ideas on reality.
