Vam, I thought that's what I was doing ... stimulating some reflection in both myself and with any luck others as well. But on to further stimulation, if what I call a table is perceived by a child as something which they have never seen before and can neither name nor identify they can still perceive it as something which is used as a place to set things above the ground or some other such similar perception. They don't need to have the same name -- or any name -- for it as I do but they can perceive and even use its functionality. They can even address it by pointing at it as a place where perhaps a bottle, toy or food rests. However, I seriously doubt they could take it to the same esoteric and vaporous levels of perception as is done here among and within ourselves.
