Is there a way to somehow diagram or otherwise restructure your analysis in this piece? The questions you ask are definitely interesting and important. But the fundamental questions underlying them sound paradoxical in themselves. By this I mean that asking these questions sounds like asking if the Cretan is a liar or not. If I understand correctly, Wittgenstein believed the liar-or-not question was nonsense because the paradox is due to a misuse of language. To me it is ultimately intuitive that Wittgenstein was right. Can it be shown in an intuitive way that the questions in your piece reflect real questions, or that the questions are ultimately problems of language? I'm genuinely curious. Thank you very much!
