That was the young Wittgenstein talking. Of course Wittgenstein said
too much here. He provokes the question: but what are you talking
about? Well he will try to answer that his whole life, and get some
points, imo, including, in his last book on certainty, that knowledge
and belief could correspond to the same actual state of a brain/machine
put in different context. Which is the basic of the Theaetetical notion
of knowledge.

Those reminds me of the vertical and horizontal separation of the
arithmetical person pov/hypostases:
Indeed, incompleteness forces the machine to distinguish between
p
Bp
Bp&p
Bp&Dp
Bp&Dp&p
which are the vertical distinction, and then they are multiplied by two
by the G/G* distinction. Except that "p" (truth or Sigma1-truth), with
arithemtical comp) and "Bp&p" (knowability) are interestingly enough
not separated by the G/G* distinction. Note that only the modal nuance
having "p" in their definition are unameable by the machine. p.
Of course that vertical/horizontal nuance is a coincidence, with
respect to the dharmas. At least at first sight I would say.
