For Grice, "I" is defined in terms of tts:
rendering McEvoy's
(i) My memory is patchy.
as:
"a (past) hearing of my patchy memory is an element in
a total temporary state which is a member
of a series of total temporary states such that
every member of the series EITHER
would, given certain conditions,
contain as al element a MEMORY
of some EXPERIENCE which is an element
in some previous member,
OR
contains as an element some experience
a memory of which would,
given certain conditions, occur as an
element in some subsequent member;
there being no subject of members
which is independent from all the rest."
