Abstract: Abstract This Chapter explores the implications of this definitional position. The converse of diarrhesis, namely unwarranted generalisation, is discussed, the problem of universals is resolved, the notion of essentially contested concepts is demolished, the relationship between language and mathematics is considered, support for the Mangle is confirmed, several meta-rules are developed covering use of the Mangle and of the words ‘essence’, ‘meaning’ and ‘universal’, and the robustness of the tool we call language is considered, finding that common usage imposes an underlying rigour that induces some sort of innate collective intelligence.
