Right.  Of course.  But it's very telling that you put the word *purpose* last.  It is that purpose that sets the entire context, including the appropriateness of any definition in the lexicon used while engaged in the project.  You seem to have ignored my point about use cases and how they set the tolerances on discretization error.

This all depends on a strong illusion of my "self", on the objectness of said blocks and woodstove and garden cart, and a continuity of "self" roughly ranging back to the time when I dismantled to the present as I plan and scheme to the future when, in fact, I am pretty confident I will find the woodstove perched on top of those very same blocks again.   Of course, I may change plans mid-course if I find another set of blocks with more appropriate or promising qualities for the purpose..
