We should pause here perhaps over the work's title, which borrows and interrogates an image from Wittgenstein's Tractatus. Newtonian mechanics, the philosopher says, capture the world through the equivalent of a net, or many nets. The mesh may be fine or coarse, and its holes of different shapes, but it will always be regular, will always bring description 'to a unified form'. 'To the different networks correspond different systems of describing the world.' But, like Jake, we may need to be reminded that our descriptions are not the world, which may slip away, so to speak, under the net. 'Laws, like the law of causation etc, treat of the network and not of what the network describes.'
