“The wheel that can be spun without it moving anything else does not belong to the machine.”
In your estimation:
In how many ways do you think your statement -
I want to leave -
can be understood?
In an infinite number of ways,
or would it be a lesser number?
I must admit I do not understand it.
Or, at least, I am quite certain I understand it differently than how you would like me to understand it.
I am also quite certain you lack the means to explain it to me in a manner that would make me understand it how you would like me to understand it.
I am furthermore quite certain you do not actually wish for me to understand it how you would like me to understand it - since, having understood what it is you would like,
it would be trivial for me to attempt to come to
a different understanding.
I am well aware that this is not something you would like to see happen.
So, here we are. You want to leave, and I have no way of understanding what this means to you and you cannot explain this to me in a way that would leave the original meaning of your sentence intact.
Your sentence therefore merely appears meaningful.
But to me it must be meaningless.
As impenetrable as, perhaps, the experience of color, and just as incomprehensible as the guttural cry of a strange being from a distant plane of existence, and in our relation quite as ungraspable as any random string of words comprising a different sentence, say, for instance:
The child is sowing a cloth,
watched over by the dead.
Should I understand your statement in this way?
Please, tell me.
