What is Catalogue record about?

“In the veryfact of determining something as border, one is already beyond it. [... darin selbst, das etwas als Schranke bestimmt ist, darüber bereits hinausgegangen ist.]” (TWA 5, p. 145)5 4 The limit forbids, the border allows. 5 And there are so many games constantly played with language – teaching, threatening, seducing, arguing, imploring, confessing, writing poetry, demonstrating a mathematical axiom, presenting a paper at a conference ... Games have rules, having rules is what defines a game, and Wittgenstein spends a lot of time trying to figure out the implicit rules we constantly use with language games. But – and this is crucial – there is no meta-rule which would regulate all language games, there is no meta-language which could spell out what language is and what would be its limits. Language games form an inconsistent whole, actually not a whole at all, it is rather a non-whole, a not-all (pas-tout, to use the Lacanian parlance) whose limits can never be spelled out. Each game borders on other games, in an unruly behaviour which cannot be put quite in order or streamlined. One has to presuppose a rule if one is to us
