If you want to know what anything is, you must understand the order of origins adeptly, then the order of metaphors, then the derivatives. An example is ‘the Sun’. No Sun? No minds, no language, science, math, categories, questions. This is the origin order. So to know what »anything is, you must have an idea of where the sun fits in that is not only moderately correct, but aggressively self-correcting/exceeding.

To advance your understanding of what anything and everything is or may be, locate a fundamental pivot at the order of origins, and pursue it relentlessly, forever. What is the Sun (and the nature of all relations to it)? Correct your ideas of this even slightly and the entire structure and potential of your mind will (immediately) advance in ways otherwise impossible.

Find the right pivot, and redimensionalize, correct, and pursue its implications upon all of the phenomenon that dependently emerge from (with, and as) it.
