I 278f
"Fido"-Fido principle/Nathan Salmon: E.g.
Floyd believes that
a) Lois Lane does not know that Clark Kent can fly - and
b) Lois does not know that Superman can fly refers to the same proposition.
>Proposition, >Intension, >Belief content.
Because Floyd knows the story and for him the two modes of presentation refer to the same person. - For him it is the same way of givenness.
>Way of givenness.
For Floyd, there is no English word for a three-digit belief relation
B (x, p) iff. (Em) BEL (x, p, m)
(m = way of givenness).
Floyd therefore cannot express what he wants to say. - Floyd himself must believe that Lois recognizes the identity.

Schiffer: Salmon himself gives no representation of the way of givenness and thus the three-digit ratio - (which he himself admits).
