If propositions are diagrams, dependent on analogy, logic and "symbolic matrices" are surely diagrams as well. Formal logic suffers from a certain sterility, I think, precisely because it focuses exclusively on the logical diagram itself, forgetting the analogies at it's base and not worrying all that much about it's experiential consequences.
