Well, my whole point is that premises are hidden. So if you have the premise that water is H20 stored somewhere, then water is necessarily H20. See what I'm saying?

You start with a few premises genetically encoded. And you start with the genetic capability for metaphor. Then you build up a giant web of relations of premises through metaphor.

Meh, I'm too faded right now. I'll try to reword some of what I mean tomorrow.
