If the extent to which the world makes sense is somewhere between 0 and 100%, does falling short of 100% make it true that it doesn't make sense? I think only if said against a very particular background.

This raises key issues in the ontology of truth! One way of relativizing an absolute statement, that is importantly true in some sense (like

Because the world does partly make sense; because we can enjoy it and improve it (as well as suffering and risking catastrophe); because genuine meanings are everywhere (despite being nebulous and so not reliably delivering on the promises eternalistic systems made for them).
