Robert Paul suggested 'blue here' as an EP: I did not. Nor do I know where W
suggested it.
The problem is whether a. blue is simple or complex - if blue can be analysed
in terms of statements of velocity it might seem it is *not* an EP or
elementary name. b. is 'here' an EP - or can the space-time point it points
to be further broken down in terms of more specific 'heres' [here in my room
can be broken down in the many points of 'here' in my room].
And is there a specifiable end to this breaking down where we arrive an some
sayable EPs?
My hunch is no.
Donal
