89. A red patch looks different from one that is not red. But it would
be odd to say “a red patch looks different when it is there from when it isn’t

reality in the absence of any proposal –
is unknown –
our reality is propositional
reality as proposed is uncertain
I might expect an outcome –
but as soon as I give my expectation any thought –
it is clear that I cannot be certain of any outcome
my expectation is a proposal –
open to question –
open to doubt
