Rosa, does your model allow for any description of the nature of the difference in the level of generality between, lets say, the concept of exchange Value and the concept of market prices ? Or between the terms market price and prices of production ? etc. Or is it the case that you say merely that not all the terms used are at the same level of generality and that there is no requirement in the manner I suggest to describe the differences in level of generality...just that each term has its own meaning ? Or is your stance otherwise ?
'Level of generality'...?

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Perhaps, in your own sweet way you mean 'domain of quantification'?

If so -- yes.

I am sorry, but that makes no sense.

How do you know that Gil understands you?

Anyway, what Gil is able to piece together from your posts has no bearing on what I can make of them, and I can make very little of them most of the time.

Now, I am not denying that you know what you want to say, but you will need to find someone who can, say, translate your native language into clear English, otherwise much of what you say is just a waste of time.

Wow...I see someone knows how to fiddle with his levels of generality ? Neat. I think you've messed up the level of abstraction of this thread while you were at at it. And they were running along so well. Ah well, cant make an omelette....

Thanks for the answer, Rosa.

Do you get commission for writing this sort of stuff? Like £1 per word, or something?

I only ask, since you mystics are all rather good at it -- you, however, being the gold medallist in this event.
