as I am representing it
the substance argument is a scaffold argument
you put up the scaffold to build the edifice
after the building is complete you remove the scaffold
the point being substance is a false foundation
its purpose is to get the ideas of extension and mind -
up and running
the twin spires if you like
after these have been established -
substance has no further use
it can stay or be dismantled - it matters not
it is not part of the edifice
the edifice - it helped build -
was necessary to the construction
a kind of seventeenth century take on Wittgenstein's ladder
