Wolfe vs. Chomsky
1. Tom Wolfe has a new book on Chomsky, "The Kingdom of Speech."
2. This suggests a review of a post of Aug. 11, 2014, Syntactic/Symplectic.
To paraphrase Wittgenstein, sentence 1 above is about "correlating in real life"
(cf. Crooked House and Wolfe's From Bauhaus to Our House ), and may be
compared to sentence 2 above, which links to a sort of "correlating in
mathematics" that is a particular example of the more general sort of
mathematical correlating mentioned by Wittgenstein in 1939.
