Notes which I just copied and pasted from the internet and my personal notes.

"Everything is ambiguous, as long as it is taken by itself, while nothing is strictly ambiguous if we look at it top-down, placing it in its proper cognitive environment."

 

"In real life, thr is no such thing as ambiguity- excepting certain, rather special occasions, on which one tries to deceive one's partner, or keep the door open."
