    Hello Patrick,

    Just a quickie on this: it does sound Wittgensteinian, but I'm pretty sure
    that Wittgenstein wouldn't agree with Matt that there is nothing outside
    language. In fact I'm certain of it; it's something he would violently
    object to! He _would_ agree that there is 'no such thing as mind' only what
    we talk about, and that truth is something to apply to propositions though.
    I think.....
