Yeah, this seems reasonable to me. I’m not deeply familiar with Wittgenstein, so my read of your presentation is that you’re paying too much attention to the fact that things are contingent and not enough attention to the fact that the structure of that contingency has a lot of commonality in each case, but I’m not surprised there’s a similar idea in his work. Of course this might be my own projection, since I’ve been pretty guilty of making this mistake and failing to appreciate the extent to which things add up to normality because of common features about how things in the world are constructed.
