Thank you for your simple and instructive view point.

And I would love to look up your sources.

It is not that I am ignoring anybody. I realize Derrida's significance
and would like to understand better what he has to offer.

My contention is that there has to be a language for Derrida to deconstruct.
In architecture, the breaking down of meaning and reconstituting it can
only happen when there already is a meaning.

I would like to continue to build the meaning, further, develop and celebrate
it. I leave ironizing and breaking it down to others. Although I do not want
to be ignorant of the possibility of the breaking down. There will be no
language left if we all get into decon.

I have no answer to your point of the voices out there.
I have a lurking feeling that you have to experience the other side of the cube
and the voices to know of them being out there. Sometime, somewhere in childhood
the perceptions have been crystalized only through our being in the world.
Maybe I can construct and answer through Piaget-Tuan. But your point is well
taken.

Ray, if you are reading, I will have answer for you soon.
