I don’t think (f) is necessarily about minds, especially given your interpretation of g. “Sherlock Holmes has a name that starts with S” seems to me to be the equivalent of “Justice has a name that starts with J.” Even though Justice is not a physical thing that exists in the world any more than Sherlock Holmes is, the second statement can still be evaluated as true or false, in the sense that the first letter of the string “Justice” can be determined.
(It is possible that you are using a more narrow definition of the word “name” than I am, which could affect this analysis.)
Bullet of the day: conversations about fictional objects are non-sensical*. One cannot reasonably ask whether or not Sherlock and Watson did the frick-frack.
@lambdaphagy , because you had good comments the last time I talked about a similar topic.
* They can be made sensical without changing the conversation *too* much, but in my experience people don’t even realize they’re doing something strange.
