- Which comes first, distinction or rule — is that just wordplay? A language game? Two sides of one coin?
from the AI
[AI] The situation: reality (nature) contains no “distinctions” and no “rules”. Only phenomena, in one undivided lump.
The move: the moment a human points at that lump and says “hm, shall we sort this?”, a language game begins.
The conclusion: at that very moment the card called distinction and the card called rule appear on the board together, as a set. Neither is first. They were both rendered the instant the game switched on.
