    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    When your belief or thought is reliably connected to something real in the world—like your belief about water is 'tracking' actual water because you formed it by interacting with real water.
    p and p*(as the variables representing different situations)
    Symbols representing two different possible versions of the same thing—often used when comparing a scenario on Earth versus an identical planet (like in Putnam's Twin Earth thought experiment).
