........what Joe wants is impossible, because there isn't anything useful to be said that applies to everything. Anything non-trivial will be true of some things and false of others: it will divide the universe into examples and non-examples. It will be a category.

Do you see the point?

OK, I use the word boundary for this then.

What I'm asking about is a more general process of elimination before that. Narrowing down which data and contexts to consider even accessing or working with in the first place, rather than starting from "everything" aiming at only one category. Yes it fits the general theory/No it does not.

A human to human metaphor could be a psychologist first interviewing a patient ruling out what the problem is not before pinning down what it is, or Dustin Hoffman's character eliminating huge swaths of literature by a few atypical questions in the movie Stranger Than Fiction.

Common syntax, semantics, and pragmatics across many categories.  I have recently been looking at papers on mereology that seem to run along these lines and would sincerely appreciate pointers to more on THIS type of context and data processing currently in use today.

Thank you again - Deborah


Thank you, Deborah MacPherson
