Ordering

We use words to sort out the world, or carve it up, by naming the types or parts. Is there a difference between discovering and inventing the order of which we speak? You have to believe the difference is real, and act accordingly, in order to find out whether the order is real or not. Whether you call it ‘making a distinction’ or ‘seeing a difference,’ the practice is the same.
