A rule

stands
is

there, like a sign post. Does

the sign post
it

leave no doubt

as to
about

what
the

[;|p]ath I have to take? Does it show in what direction I

have
am

[o|t]o go when I have passed it? ; whether

along
by

the road, or the field along the footpath, or

over hedge & ditch
accross country

? But where does it say in what sense I

ought
have

to follow it; whether in the direction of the hand or, e.g., in the opposite one ˇdirection? – And in insetad suppose instead of one sign post there w[er|as]e a closed chain of sign posts, or chalk marks

running
ran

along

along the ground; : is there only one ˇway of interpret[ati|ing]on for them? – Then ˇTherefore I

can
may

say the signs- post surely doesn't leave any doubt. Or more correctly rather: [I|i]t sometimes leaves a doubt, ˇand sometimes not ˇdoesn't. And this is_ n[o|']t ˇany longer a philosophical proposition; any more longer, but an it's an experiential proposition.
