(Q – Kurian: okay, it's a fair one at marriage, I mean between 2 things what's the point there was someone earlier who was talking about measurement, but there is
also another marriage to be made with the measurements I suppose?)
MB: Another marriage?
(Q – Kurian: Yes, I'm thinking of literature, for example, because well, measurement calls for mathematics, but literature is the other thing. Rather, imagination is that's what I call a fair marriage actually.)
MB: so, when I talk about literature and the literary, that means that the words used by Max were used by someone who mastered the vocabulary and who mastered, not the meaning but the different meanings of a same term, same expression, it means…
(Q – Kurian: the anagram or…)
MB: no, no I'm not talking about anagram there, no, no, no, no, no, I'm talking about vocabulary, words or expressions, words or expressions, when you look at the dictionary, meaning No. 1, meaning No. 2, colloquial meaning, scientific meaning, this or that word, this or that expression takes on a meaning, depending on the meaning we want to give it, depending on the field to which it applies, scientific, colloquial or whatever you want.
But I want to say that Max Valentin used words and expressions in all of this, for some in a colloquial sense, for others in a much more precise, much more professional sense, if necessary, we can say it or there you go , or things like that, that means that it's not the same register in all the puzzles, so there are times when you're going to read things, you're going to say that to yourself, that surely means something, and in fact it is used in the quite colloquial and simple sense. At other times, you will understand when a certain expression means something because you use it in a familiar way, whereas he used it by saying but this expression there, me where I used, it has a completely different meaning and you have to pay attention to it. This is what I say, we are dealing with a literary man, so we must be wary of the meaning he has given to different words and different expressions.
