Abstract

My positioning focuses on the meaning of a single word, probability. As in the prior exercise,1 my tasks are to (i) make explicit, to talk about, that which I am capable of talking about; (ii) to identify that which I am not capable of talking about; and (iii) to describe the view that results from developing what I take to be positional and reversing what I take to be counter-positional.
