Andy, I'm not sure what you mean by this.
As I was understanding sedimentation, it would pertain to something like
the grammar of a language. This is not activity as in Saussure's _parole_;
it is the regularity of _la langue_. It's not something non-material; but
is it "matter," or is it a matter of form?
Or am I understanding "sedimentation" too inclusively?
