57. Someone copies a figure on the scale of 1 to 10. Is the
understanding of the general rule of such mapping contained in the process of
copying?
Or was the process merely
in agreement with that rule, but also in agreement with other rules?
the copying could be performed without any knowledge of the general rule
of mapping –
is the general rule of mapping contained in the process of copying?
it can be described that way
and it could well be described
as being in agreement with other rules
what we have here is an action – an activity – described – and one that
can be described in any number of ways
an action – without description – is unknown –
what an action ‘contains’ – how it is understood –
depends entirely on how it is described
if I perform the action – how do I understand it?
however I describe it
if you are observing the action – how do you understand it?
however you describe it –
yes – we have standard forms of description
however there is no rule as to how you describe –
no rule as to how you understand
