In Lila I find analogies to a cup of tea, map coordinates, high country and computer hardware/software. How does this explain that all statements are analogies? > [Platt] > So a new assumption changes the form of knowledge which then becomes true > knowledge? Right? > > [Arlo] > Why the word "true"? Why not "accepted"? Accepted? By whom?

(ZMM) Doesn't explain how "everything is an analogy."
