'If I have thrown such a net over the world then I discover laws. The laws are concerned with the net and not with what the net describes. "In the net analogy of physics: although the specks are geometrical figures geometry is still not able to say anything at all about their form or position. The net is however purely geometrical; all its properties can be given a priori."' G. Brand The Central Texts of Wittgenstein Basil Blackwell Oxford.
