We must somehow account for the feeling of food. Hot dogs don't feel like sandwhiches, they feel different. Why is that? The cube rule gives us an answer to "are hot dogs sandwhiches", but it doesn't give us an answer to "why does it seem so wrong to call hot dogs sandwhiches?" I think we intuitively know the following: * Subs are sandwhiches * Ice cream sandwhiches are sandwhiches, kind of (but they're not lunch). * Burritos, hot dogs, and tacos are not sandwhiches. But can we generate a list of rules based on the qualities of the things themselves that explain this? Maybe, I don't know. But maybe this condition isn't a consequence of the things themselves, so much as it is of our collective associations and connotations to sandwhich. Picnics, lunch, cafeterias, Subway. Mom packing our lunch box. Maybe 'sandwhich' isn't located out there, in the world, but at the intersection of many places in our minds.
