One of these constructs that is compatible with the Theaetetus involvesindicating the colors on a "chessboard-like complex" of nine squares.
Mathematics and psychology can be differentiated by noting that these constructs are partly determinedby the kind of "certainty" involved. One of these constructs that is compatible with the Theaetetus involvesindicating the colors on a "chessboard-like complex" of nine squares. Two completely different examples ofthese constructs are involved when we work with inner sensations like (*) pain, and outer objects like aroom. A passage from Augustine's Confessions is refuted by one of these constructs involving a shopkeeper,who somehow knows to look up "red" in a chart, and count to "five" to procure apples. In the classic exampleof these constructs, a builder shouts the names of materials to an assistant. For 10 points, name theseapplications of sets of words linked by "family resemblance," which are studied extensively in the PhilosophicalInvestigations of Ludwig Wittgenstein.
