Hintikka I 26
Calculus/Wittgenstein/Hintikka: if language is calculus, (WittgensteinVs) you can use formalism to describe those parts of language, which are subject to variation. >Formalism.

II 83
Calculus/Description/Border/Wittgenstein: a calculus cannot be described without using it, and language cannot be described without specifying its meaning. >Language, >Description, >Meaning.
II 212
Mental Acts/Wittgenstein: mental acts are not used in addition to calculating or speaking - instead: the calculus is precisely speaking as such. Calculating: is one step at a time. There is no mental act which anticipates the whole. Even meaning is not a mental process that would accompany the words.
II 426
Calculus/Wittgenstein: two different calculi can result in e.g. 3 - but they are still two different results.
II 427
The meaning of such a question is determined by the solution method. The question corresponds to a general law to find an answer.
II 428
Rational Numbers/Wittgenstein: here we are talking about cuts with right and left classes. Hardy gives concrete examples.
II 429
Question: are the examples essential? What is the meaning of the symbol "P", which denotes all rational numbers of the property, if no examples are given? What is the property of rationality (of numbers) as opposed to what?
Calculus/Term/Wittgenstein: the general expressions L (left class) and R (right class) do not expand the area, but form a new expression type. A new calculation. And that is not the discovery of a wider area. Here we have a new area.

VI 120
Mathematics/WittgensteinVsHilbert/Schulte: the demand for consistency disrupts peace!
VI 121
Instead: "verificationist" approach (intuitionism). Search and find. >Verificationism, >Intuitionism.
Search: in mathematics different from the material object.
The calculus tells me where to look.
Only the method teaches what you have actually asked for. >Method.
The meaning of the sentence is the method of its verification. cf. >Sentence meaning.
