ABSTRACT
When we were last together we ‘solved’ the problem of translating thoughts into action by going to bed. That was a precise solution of a precisely defined … what? It was apparently ‘defined’ by being terminated. But that act defined it – in the sense of ending the discussion. It occurred to me later that we were behaving as if we had become aware of human speech, as a child might become aware that grownups are not merely making noises with their mouths, but are communicating with each other or engaging in some prelude to communication. Such an ‘event’, now used as a free association, can be reviewed in the light of increased experience. The ‘re-view’ can itself be turned to good account.
