Hmm... Seeing reference to Venn diagrams, I can only wonder what
Wittgeinstein would have done with cubes in the relational algebra
(formally SQL now, thanks to E.F. Codd and IBM heh) ! Probably create
3-d truth tables, and use the 'slices' of different truth tables, that
have linear dependencies, similar to how a proof in algebra is formed.
 Truth Slices heh. That was neat, I had no idea Ludwig was at root
of truth tables. I share his obsession with ' etymlogical state'
dilemmas of a given word and it's use in different contexts. I think
he finally settled on 'The words meaning IS it's use', which leaves the
doors of derivational morphology closed, really, for, how many words do
you needs in the end when each possess (unlimited ?) use cases in
different contexts. heh I bet Wittgeinstein would have liked that
Next Generation Star Trek episode where Piccard and his companion were
alone on the surface of a planet, sitting by a fire, and they could
only communicate through metaphor, as I think thats says almost the
same thing as his resolvency of derivation of a words meaning. Hmm..
Almost says a words inflection then is higher priority than it's
definition, IF ya know what I mean. heh (from who's line is it anyway).
  Maybe he say the universality in truth tables and said, ok, where can
I find the common true derivatives in words, exploring the 'etumon' ?
  Langauge is probably merely a treat to the formal symbiologies any
mathematician has to discreetly bond with, which as Einstein said to
Jung, 'my relativity theory is...' Jung goes, huh ? One day Einstein
ASKS Carl Jung about the psyche, Jung writes he had his field day...
Albert responded with, it is too bad that one can not really freely
have dialogue with 'special' knowledge as he put it, without gaining
mastery or competence in such field. This holds true to what a
physicist I once read saying "unless you become an expert in some
'special' area of knowledge in physics, you probably will do more harm
than good in talking about anything in matters of physics."

that said, I'm ending this post.
