I've lost a word. Not senility, I remember that one .

Would someone very kindly remind me of the word for the belief that only oneself exists and that all else is the product of ones own mind. I've been trying to find it for two days without success and it's irritating .

Thanks.

Yes, it can be, though it's usually considered to be ternary. It's also associative and transitive.

Thank you, everyone, for all that input; "...ask, and ye shall receive..." John 16:23.
