A bit I found rather strange, on the language-side: > This is to say the patterns in language use mirror the patterns of how things are(1). > (1)- Strictly of course only the patterns in true sentences mirror, or are isomorphic to, the arrangement of the world, but most sentences people utter are at least approximately true.
