now youre standing somewhere and im
standing somewhere in semantic space and theyre not the
same place because i find it hard to imagine us all or any of us
standing in precisely the same place even in semantic space
now supposing from where im standing "blue" looks pretty
close to abstract and from where youre standing it looks
pretty close to concrete i can imagine your position and you
can imagine mine how can we each get to imagine the others
position how come i can imagine your position as well
as mine? how do you get to imagine my position as well as
yours?
