I 194
Language of Physics/Duhem: is not the representation of the observed facts.
Technical language: e.g. Seemann says, "remove Bram and Oberbram!" The officer's words are for the crew the names of concrete, clearly defined objects, a well-known maneuver. This is for the initiate the effect of a technical expression. >Observation Language.
Quite different is the language of the physicist: For example, when the pressure is increased by a certain number of atmospheres, the electromotive force of the column is increased by a certain number of volts. This can be realized in a myriad of different ways. >Observation, >Physics, >Experiments, >Theoretical terms, >Theoretical entities, >Unobservables.
