very interesting. esp. The "imagine the unwritten parts" :) For a long-time not seen anything letting me such freedom

May i suggest two/3 more/other directions to glance at?

- Strugatsky brothers - in "Snail on the slope" [1], chapter 3, (about page 11 in original) Peretz talks about understanding... "Проще поверить, чем понять. Проще разочароваться, чем понять. Проще плюнуть, чем понять. " -- in my flaky translation, "it's simpler to believe than to understand. it's simpler to get disappointed than to understand. it's simpler to spit than to understand". Have a look

- Pirsig's MoQ metaphysics of quality

- the mean-ings of word "mean"
