we need to understand [[the distinction between]] [[skeletal and fleshed-out content]]. A representation's [[skeletal content]] is "not augmented or medi- ated by any other" _(HT,_ 185), and its fleshed-out content is the augmented mess. > >A simple remark can convey worlds of content. "The letter is on the table" can be a simple answer to a simple question or can suggest that the utterer is too busy to fetch the letter herself, that someone forgot to post it, that the spy is dead, and so on. Its boring [[skeletal content]] is that the letter is on the table. The complete message fleshes out these bare bones.
