Random quote
We regard the photograph, the picture on our wall, as the object itself (the man, landscape, and so on) depicted there.

Quite so. Representations are important in human lives. They also have meaning for primary conscious other life forms. Sight and hearing are fundamental senses, aligned with and critical to memory and richness. I have read LW. Do not consider his work to be as pivotal or important as some others. But, he too was lucid with fundamentals. The Tractatus was longer than it needed to be.
