1.
Logic of properties,
hieroglyphics of logical
situations are, of necessity
true, although independent
of falsehood or truth.
Thus, in speaking the truth,
"A world is, as it were,
put together experimentally."
2.
At the very least, we
represent a relation. We are,
put this way, "On good ground."
3.
Once again
it all makes sense
except where we have not
given meaning
to what appears
to be a word.
"Even when we believe
we have done so."
To be ambiguous
would be to run on
forever. Simplicities
are enormously
complex. Consider
the sentence "I love
you."
It can be said
to be good without
knowing whether it
is false or true.
Columbia 1960
