(1) Language and human action are inseparable, i.e. one cannot understand language separately from action (this reveals most of philosophy to be contentless)
(2) Names make sense exactly to the extent and via the structure they refer to actions (spectrum of measurements determine the scope and limits of names)
(3) Commensurability is the best language can do, because:
(i) To discern is an ACT of measurement
(ii) Indiscernible things are informationally null
(iii) Ergo one can only fully convey (without informational loss) names discernible to one’s interlocutor
(iv) Ergo we can only talk in dimensions of commensurability (measurements both parties can enACT)
Apply (i-iv) reflexively (talking to oneself): informational content in conceptualization is determined by the set of novel measurements (and ways thereof: meta-measurements or measurement-measurements, recursively) introduced.
In other words, commensurability exhausts the reach of language.
In other words, magic don’t real.
