Doesn't the analogy of language with a game throw
any
some
light here? For we can easily imagine that people might [i|a]mus[e|ing] themselves in a field ˇon a lawn common by playing with a ball in this ˇsuch a way: ˇthat they beginning various
them existing games
existing games (with their rules)
,
not finishing some of them
leaving a number of them unfinished unfinished
, in between ˇwhiles throwing the ball ˇup at random in the air,

chasing ˇand hitting one each another in fun with the ball, throwing it at one another etc..– And now someone ˇcomes along and saysch if someone said: that during the whole : all the time th[e|ese] people are playing a ball game and conf[i|o]rm to a definit[i|e]w rule with every throw. therefore at every point act according to definite rules.
      And isn't there also the case in which we play and make up the rules as we go along? And also that in which we alter them as we go along.
