The point is that meat space is necessary for truth seeking. And the critical thing about meat space is that it is _not_ loopy ... at least we assume it's not loopy. Hence, no matter how deep the individuals are, they can come to a common ground through _actions_. But we can't (necessarily) say the same thing about thoughts/ideas/concepts/memes. Therefore, going back to the original topic of how a part can represent and discover its wholes, it has to determine it's membership through actions, not words.
