    <p>Perhaps a rather mundane view on this is that part of the
      importance of poetry, and the other arts, is to do with metaphor.
      Seeing one thing in terms of another is, I think, a good practice
      for keeping the mind flexible. It would be interesting to know
      what cognitive effects might result from doing cryptic crosswords
      every day.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Metaphor can also lead to insight, as proposed by Bateson's
      'pattern that connects', and also by Koestler's concept of
      bisociation. Seeing more of these connections can only help us.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Best,</p>

                                        time, cataloguing, systematising

                                        Results from the

                                        foregrounds and backgrounds,

                                        and
                                        countability. Seen from the
                                        inside, it is very hard to
                                        decide, which tools of
                                        prediction one uses when
                                        observing predictable periodic
                                        changes: are these the
                                        positions, the masses involved,
                                        their speed, their history or
                                        their personal
                                        properties? The property of
                                        being <i><span

                                            many</span></i>
                                        is one among many other
                                        determinants. If the background
                                        is axiomatic to the
                                        foreground, there is no
                                        information, as Joseph points
                                        out. Information is
                                        involved, if <i><span
                                            style="font-style:italic">based
                                            on this

                                            different
                                            <foreground/background>.
                                          </span></i>It
                                        may appear a heroic undertaking
                                        of accounting to filter out the
                                        connections
                                        between background and
                                        foreground <i><span
                                            style="font-style:italic">as
                                            such, </span></i>but
                                        it helps immensely, if we have a
                                        conceptual picture of how two
                                        interdependent
                                        logical systems interact,
                                        irrespectively of how one names
                                        them. In Joe’s case,
                                        these are named Logic and
                                        Reality. Wittgenstein called
                                        them that, what we can
                                        and that we cannot speak about
                                        exactly. Our neurology suggests
                                        we see them as a
                                        contrast-generating dichotomy.
                                        Experiments with logical
                                        primitives show that
                                        the problem can be studied in
                                        great detail. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
