But what if someone objected, || : “It is not || isn't true that someone must have mastered a language game already in order to understand an ostensive definition, but he has only – obviously – || only he's || you must already have mastered a language game in order to understand an ostensive definition, but of course, you've got to know (or guess) what the person explaining || man who gives the explanation is pointing to. Whether, for instance, || : e.g., whether to the form || shape of an || the object, or to its colour, or to the number of the objects, etc., etc..” – And what does “pointing to the form || shape”, “pointing to the colour” etc. consist in, then? Point to a piece of paper. – And now point to its form || shape, – now to its colour, – now to its number (that sounds queer). – Well, how did you do it? – You will say you “meant” something different each time you pointed || each time you pointed you “meant” something different. And if I ask how that takes place || you how that takes place || this is done || how you do this, you will say you directed || concentrated || concentrate your attention on the colour, on the form || shape etc.. But then || now I ask again how that || this takes place. || is done.
     Suppose someone points to a vase and says, “Look at that || this glorious || gorgeous || marvellous blue! – the shape doesn't matter.” – Or, “Look at that || this magnificent || wonderful shape! – the colour is || colour's unimportant.” – Undoubtedly you will do different things || something different in each case if you comply with both these requests || do what he asks you. But do you always do the same thing when you direct your attention to the colour? Imagine various cases – I will suggest some: || e.g. these: –
      “Is this blue the same as that? Do you see a ¤ difference?” –
      You are mixing colours || paints on a palette and you say, “This blue of the sky is hard to find || get.”
      “It's going to be fine, you can see the blue sky already again.”
      “Look what different effects these two blues give.”
      “Do you see the || that blue book over there? Please bring || fetch it.”
      “This blue signal light means …”
      “What is || What's this blue called? – is it “indigo”–?”
Directing the attention to the colour sometimes means shutting out the outlines of the || a shape with one's || your hand, or, not directing one's gaze || looking directly at the contour of the thing; sometimes it means staring at the thing and trying to remember where one has seen this colour before. You direct your attention to the shape of a thing, sometimes by sketching || drawing it, sometimes by squinting || half closing the eyes || screwing up the eyes so as not to see the colour clearly, etc., etc.. I want || wish to say that: this and things like it happen || is the sort of thing that happens while one “directs the || one's || you ‘direct your attention to this and that” || something’. But that || this is not the only thing that allows us to || it isn't just this which makes us say, || that someone is directing his attention to the shape, to the colour, etc.. Just as “making a move in chess” does not || doesn't only consist in the fact that a piece is pushed across the board in such and such a way || pushing a piece from here to there – but also not || nor in the thoughts and feelings that accompany the move in the person making it – but rather in the circumstances that we call “taking part in || playing a chess game || game of chess”, or “solving a chess problem”, and so forth || the like.
