This doesn't follow from the premises. I would say a space of concaten-
ation, which Quine among others analyzed.
If you insist on disjunction, then is it exclusive or inclusive?

I do think this is a misreading of Lewin; there is a difference,
fundamental, between fields and spaces, although they can interpenetrate.
And why "trying to experience disjunction" and not, for example, con-
junction, or any of the other fundamental logical operations?
All such can be reduced to the Sheffer stroke or its dual, not both a and
b, neither a nor b, which construct expulsion, re: Girard. But in spite of
this and Nicod, you can move in the other direction just as easily.
I would not know a heterotopic space if I fell through across beneath
within without transgressing wandering in/out of it.
