[Louis Kauffman]

"Twenty questions is a logical strategy of identifying an element by drawing the path to its place in the lexicon. “

Wheeler’s point about twenty questions is that the path in Twenty Questions can lead anywhere in “the lexicon of possible answers” dependent only on the 
consistency criterion of the game. Thus at the beginning of the game there is cloud of possibilities that eventually “collapses” to an “answer”. To have an analysis of the game one might invent a Feyman Path Integral to catalog all these possible paths.

Like LK's "chunks", they must display distinguishability, as in some paraconsistent theories (Itala D'Ottaviano) of adjacent members of the real number line. Further, information is characterized by its quality
