I 140
Def sense/Wessel: a statement is known, if the meaning of sub-expressions and the properties of the operators are known. - ((s) No Fregean distinction sense/meaning?
>Sense, >Meaning, >Fregean meaning, >Fregean sense, >Reference.
I 141
Sense/logic/Wessel: the statement that A and B are linked by the mind is empty and does not mean anything - we get along without the word "sense".
>Logical constants, >Connectives, >Forms, >Formalization, >Formal language, >Order.
I 338
Sense/meaning/Termini/Wessel: difference sense/reference: only with composite Terms.
Simple terms: here the distincten is pointless: "What is meaning, what is truth?"
Because simple term are predicates, not subjects.
"Sense of terms": this is a meaningless question, because it is not to discover a term, only the ability of users.
The meaning of a term is only operationalist: the sense is known if the meaning is known.
>Operationalism.
This does not apply to composite terms: here: we have compositionality, but the meaning of the parts needs not to be known.
>Compositionality.
Then we do not know the meaning of the composite term.
E.g. Round square: there is no method for determining the meaning.
