The baroque structure of these intrigues, in which an agent might act to create the impression that a second agent was acting so as to create the impression that the first agent was engaged in a conspiracy (for instance, that one), must surely have resulted in a situation in which no one really understood what anyone was doing; and this lack of understanding will also have affected the situation to be understood. Since such a situation is structured by the agents' intentions, and their intentions are conditioned by their increasingly confused grasp of others' intentions, there comes a point at which there is no truth of the matter about what they are doing.

DEFINE: Introduces the idea that action-truth depends on the coherence of agents' mutual intentions, so recursive confusion dissolves objective answers.
