This is why I would like us to be granted the right, in what follows, to use the adjective [rational](voc_439) to designate from now on the step-by-step, thread-by-thread tracing of the various *networks*, to which we shall add the various *trajectories* of veridiction or malediction, each defined by a separate *preposition. To understand rationally any situation whatsoever is at once to unfold its network and define its preposition, the interpretive key in which it has to be grasped ([net · pre]). After all, isn’t wanting to speak well about something to someone, standing in the agora, a fairly good approximation of what the Greeks called l*ogos*?"
