Philosophical Grammar 110

110. However many steps I insert between the thought and its application, each intermediate step always follows the previous one without any intermediate link, and so too the application follows the last intermediate step. – We can’t cross the bridge to the execution (of an order) until we are there.

if there is a connection between a proposition described as a thought – and a proposition described as its application

the connection is propositional –

that is you put forward a proposal relating the two descriptions –

you can’t cross the bridge until you propose the bridge –

and if you have a mind to you can ‘insert’ proposals between the two –

that is to say further describe or explain the relationship

and  yes you can describe the application proposal as following ‘the last intermediate’ step / proposal –

any number of ways of looking at a propositional relation are possible –

it’s just a question of what you are doing and why

however there is no necessity in any of this –

any description – and any proposal relating descriptions – is open to question – to doubt

we operate in propositional contingency –

the ground of all propositional action is uncertainty
