hmm... i don't know how hopeless this is... me trying to talk about this stuff... i'm still acquiring the terminology... but i remember talking to you about twin earth before...

i guess....

i've been reading about primary / secondary intensions...
(which kind of maps the sense / reference distinction)
and different kinds of primary intenstions...
-basic primary intensions...
-structured primary intensions... (for sentances expressions which allows for logical compositionality / structure out of basic primary intensions)
-enriched primary intensions (which is supposed to be some kind of primary-secondary intension pair which builds the world into the primary intension which is supposed to help (fairly trivially) with strong determination of secondary intension by primary intension)
and about epistemic / metaphysical possibility / necessity...

it is doing my head in a little...

but the 'meaning' (primary intension) of a sentence / expression...
is meant to be the 'content' of a thought...

so meaning... and mental content...

what language is about...
what thoughts are about...
what is the case in the world...
the logical structure of all of the above...

why is it so dammed complicated z?
