What actually occurs in our minds when we use language with the intention of meaning something by it? What is the relation subsisting between thoughts, words, or sentences, and that which they refer to or mean? What relation must one fact (such as a sentence) have to another in order to be capable of being a symbol for that other? Using sentences so as to convey truth rather than falsehood?

MISS APPLIED - PRIVATE DETECTIVE
A little lock down diversion, which, hopefully will make you
smile.
Some time ago I was toying with the idea of a radio show,
based on the old-fashioned film noir of the thirties and forties. This is a
first episode. You may or may not be amused, but I hope you are. In any event
it would be nice to have some feedback, just in case you would like to know
what happens next.
It is also based on an incident
some time around 1960-62 Los Angeles in the Trousdale Estates section of Beverly
Hills. I had to take some stuff to a house of a friend’s friend who had become
engaged and was having a ‘wedding shower’ at her house. I got as far as the kitchen
and the living room.I do not know if
the paintings on the walls were originals, except for the Braque in the pool room off the living room. I cannot now remember exactly which Braque
it was, but it could have been “The Billiard Table”
This painting now hangs in the Tate and was apparently
acquired by them in 2003. Whether my recollection is correct, I cannot say, but some time in the early 60's it was in a pool room in a house on the Trousdale Estates
