Propositions/Tradition: (not represented by anyone in pure form, not even by Frege): ideal convergence of the elements of thought, speech, reality and communication.

G. Frege.
Propositions that are primarily defined as carriers of timeless truth values, fundamental support of linguistic meaning as constituents of reality and as publicly accessible contents of communication.

Communication, >
Truth values.
Advantage: that leaves no gap between the content of thought, and that to which it is directed - for reality arise.

CastanedaVs: this does not apply to indexical sentences.

Individuation: of indexical sentences: in the speech act, not by meaning.

Proposition/Tradition: (Frege, Moore):
1) psychological units,
2) ontological,
3) ontologically objective (intersubjective)
4) metaphysical units
5) logical units
6) semantic
7) linguistic units of communication.
CastanedaVs: there are discrepancies between 1 - 7 in the case of diachronic flow of experiences in the changing world.
VsTradition: fails with indexical reference with "I", "here", "now".
Problem: E.g. "I have 30 grams of nitrogen in my liver": understanding is possible without knowledge of the truth value.
>
Understanding, >
Truth value, >
Truth conditions.
Therefore meaning unequal truth value (VsFrege) - what is meant by the formation of a sentence is not some objective feature or thing in the world that is accessible to everyone.
