and actually, by attempting to embody Vague, we are trying to MAKE concrete something that cannot exist on its own. In short, trying to describe Vague As A Person - a noun, runs us into cognitive difficulties and troubles in trying to "flesh out" the meaning as it were, because it doesn't exist without something to attach it to. Notice all the metaphor required here: "make concrete". "flesh out". It's like trying to take one of Plato's forms and building them on a workbench . But if Plato's forms never existed in the first place, we end up just going around in circles, attempting to make meanings out of meanings, without seeing where they came from. Knowing how vague ties into physical reality and into our consciousness over the millenia of usage (destinationless walking), the meaning of vague becomes clear.
