An explanation, a chart, is first used by being looked up, then by being looked
up in the head, and finally as if it had never existed.
A
rule as the cause or history behind our present behaviour is of no interest to
us. But a rule can be a hypothesis, or can itself enter into the conduct of the
game. If a disposition is hypothesized in the player to give the list of rules
on request, it is a disposition analogous to a physiological one. In our study
of symbolism there is no foreground and background.
an
explanation – as if it had never existed?
perhaps
– but any proposal – any proposition – is open to question – open to doubt –
regardless
of use
yes
behaviour can described dispositionally
and physiologically – and in any number of other ways
there
is no definite description
as
to symbolism – foreground and background?
the
use of symbolism in defined practise is straightforward –
however
symbolism does have a history – and a context –
symbolism
is open to question
