Many thanks David for this reference. I was thinking to include Jacob's ladder
as another example in that it extends the absence of privacy into the presence
of a public way of understanding. The implications of this, in the case of
Witgenstein, include the self-collapsing ladder - the objects of consciousness
may be the rungs I am now standing on, but as soon as I am standing on another
set, then the earlier set are radically disabled (this is my perspective on
this).
