A '''frame of reference''' is a system used to identify an object knowing that different frames of reference can be used each with varying degrees of utility. Some of these are: the Relative frame of reference, the Intrinsic frame of reference, and the Absolute frame of reference. Each frame of reference can be associated with distinct linguistic expressions.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_frame_of_reference]

Partial, incomplete, and evolving [[intellect]]s would be helpless in the [[multiverse|master universe]], would be unable to form the first rational thought pattern, were it not for the innate ability of all [[mind]], high or low, to form a universe frame in which to think. If [[mind]] cannot fathom conclusions, if it cannot penetrate to true origins, then will such mind unfailingly postulate conclusions and invent origins that it may have a means of logical thought within the frame of these mind-created postulates. And while such universe frames for creature thought are indispensable to rational [[intellectual]] operations, they are, without exception, erroneous to a greater or lesser degree.

Conceptual frames of the [[universe]] are only relatively true; they are serviceable [[scaffolding]] which must eventually give way before the expansions of enlarging [[cosmic]] comprehension. The understandings of [[truth]], [[beauty]], and [[goodness]], [[morality]], [[ethics]], [[duty]], [[love]], [[divinity]], [[origin]], [[existence]], [[purpose]], [[destiny]], [[time]], [[space]], even [[Deity]], are only relatively true. God is much, much more than a Father, but the Father is man's highest concept of God; nonetheless, the Father-Son portrayal of Creator-creature relationship will be augmented by those supermortal conceptions of Deity which will be attained in [[Orvonton]], in [[Havona]], and on [[Paradise]]. Man must think in a mortal universe frame, but that does not mean that he cannot envision other and higher frames within which thought can take place.[http://www.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper115.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper115.html&line=29#mfs]
