    In everyday activity, you can almost always SEE or HEAR what to do next. The possibilities are inherent in the perceptual environment. Formal notation is a collection of tricks for making the same possible in abstract realms. It’s all our brains can do. https://meaningness.com/metablog/rational-pcr …pic.twitter.com/ZbCShOXASt
