“3.34 A proposition possesses essential and accidental features.
Accidental are the features which are due to a particular way
of producing the propositional sign. Essential are those which
alone enable the proposition to express its sense.”
From L. Wittgenstein
My note:
Accidental in a proposition can alone produce alteration of essence. It’s our mode of judgment to “absorb” the right sense of it. The whole situation is similar to a flower in its inordinate lines of colors.
