I am back worrying about this again. On the last go round Glen dope-slapped me for straw-manning the idea of "inside" and offered me at least one more way to interpret the idea than those I had thought of. I think his idea was a thought could be inside another in the sense that one mathematical expression can be inside another. This got me interested in trying to write up a very simple example. So, is there any way of notating the fact that, say, there are several different ways to arrange the factors in the multiplication of 18 x 22 in order to do it quickly in your head? (My favorite is 400-4). These are all inside in the sense that the result you get places no constraints on which of the methods you used to get the result.
The other ways I can thing of that something can be inside (other than the one I hate) is physiologically and grammatically. Are there others I am not thinking of? n Nick Thompson thompnicks...@gmail.com <mailto:thompnicks...@gmail.com> https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/
