Enrique: Que alegrÃa recibir tu nota :) Your reply is what I liked much... Thanks, Enrique. I do like the TLP (Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus), but believe that Philosophische Untersuchungen is the one to watch for proufonder insights... Anyway, nice to bring up Wittgenstein as one of my personal heroes (me, too :-)) in here. He is not completely off-topic, by the way. In the TLP (1.13), the world is the totality of facts, not of physical entities (so it is the position that matters, not just the board and the pieces). Logical space is thus chess-space, or the myriad possible positions that may crop up, constrained by the rules of chess... Unfortunately, Enrique, the TLP did not, and I know that you go along with this, describe the world as it is -- with all its little quirky, glitchy and panicky things (such as the emergent panicky moves some progs make...). Thanks for Wittgenstein though; hope to be able to discuss him and Dennett and Hoffstadter with you one day... Something along the lines Frederic was so kind to suggest the other day in an email...
