DBM quotes his "trusty Oxford Companion to Philsophy":
> "Contrary to the dominant tradition, Wittgenstein argued that language is
> misrepresented as a vehicle for the communication of language-independent
> thoughts. Speaking is not a matter of translating wordless thoughts into
> language, and understanding is not a matter of interpreting - transforming
> dead signs into living thoughts. The limits of thought are determined by the
> limits of the expression of thoughts. ... It is not thought that breathes
> life into the signs of a language, but the use of signs in the stream of
> human life."
this would mean that the 4th level can access DQ only through the 3rd.
