  Examine the
statement
sentence
prop.
: “There is something there”, referring to the visual sensation I am now having.
  Aren't we inclined to think that this is a statement making sense & being true? And on the other hand, isn't it a pseudo statement?
   But what (what entity) do you mean (refer to), when you say that sentence? – Aren't we here up against the old difficulty that it seems to us that meaning something was a special state ˇor activity of mind? For it is
true that saying these words I am in a special state of mind, I stare at something, – but this just doesn't constitute meaning.
