II 135
Description/Action/Hare: e.g. dance: let us assume we are eating and we are trying to remember how a certain dance is danced. We decide to try to reconstruct it after eating, by trying to dance it. There are then three options:
A) chaos, there are no matching memories,
B) a false dance arises from incorrect reconstruction,
C) the dance is properly reconstructed.

Memory.

Plato: innovations always lead to chaos; there is only one correct way of doing something, nameley the one that we have learned from our teachers.
Hare: the terms "dance" and "chaos" are mutually exclusive, but the result is not.
"Both a chaos and a dance" can be called "either a chaos or a dance".
The first and second possibility (chaos and false dance) are similar in that we cannot designate an arbitrary succession of movements as the dance (e.g. "Eightsome Reel").
II 137
Empiricism/Hare: not all distinctions are empirical distinctions, e.g. value distinctions are not empirical distinctions.

Empiricism.
Hare: e.g. dance: there are different possibilities:
1. The dance is correct, when the dance was danced, which is called "Eightsome Reel": circular.
2. We must already make certain limitations, e.g. memories from childhood or a textbook.
II 138
Problem: we cannot discover the rules of the dance by dancing (Henle as Hare).
There are two demands at once:
A) that the dance that is being danced is the "Eightsome Reel" and
B) that it is danced correctly. (This must be possible, like bluffing at poker).
