Virtual/Informational/Digital

"We spread the net, but we have to see what it catches.
And while there is nothing that it is incapable of catching, there is much that is never actually caught. ...
[P]hilosophy is concerned with what might be called the formal properties of the net."
A.J. Ayer, "Philosophy and Science" in his Metaphysics and Common Sense, London, Macmillan 1969, 82-93, this quotation, p92. Originally published in a Russian translation in Voprosy Filosofii (1962).
