 To 為 wéideem:do can be either to express the category assignment in one’s behavior—either speech-behavior or behaving toward the object as people would be expected to, given that they assigned the object to that category. The behavior for the category would be found in the social or natural dàopath they follow. A 為 wéideem:do state is less a mental picture of a fact (a belief) than a disposition to treat or identify some object as deserving the term in question. Instead of the western reality vs. appearance dialectic, Chinese discussion revolves around the contrast of natural  (天 tiānnature:sky) dàos and human  (人 rénhuman) or socially constructed, dàos. The human dàos are constructed with the help of  名 míngnames strung together into 言 yánlanguage.
