The measure of complexity that is relevant to the formal exposition is the measure of doubt, uncertainty, or perplexity that one entertains about the sense and use of a sign beset by questions, whether this occurs by force of a voluntary effort to bracket its habitual senses or by dint of a puzzling event that brings its automatic uses to a halt.

It is the language being discussed that is the formal one, to be treated initially as an object, while the language that is used to carry out the discussion tries to maintain its informal viability, expecting in effect to be taken on faith as not undermining or vitiating the effort at inquiry due to unexamined flaws of its own.  Nevertheless, if inquiry in general is expected to be self correcting, then a continuing series of failures to conclude inquiries by means of a given arrangement, that is, an inability to resolve uncertainties through a particular division of labor between formal and informal contexts, must lead to the grounds of attack being shifted.

In working out compromises between the FL and IL styles of usage one faces all the problems usually associated with integrating different "frameworks of interpretation" (FOIs), but compounded by the additional factors (1) that this conflict of attitudes, or its practical importance, is seldom openly acknowledged, and (2) that the frameworks in and of the negotiation to be transacted are rarely capable of being formalized, or even of being made conscious, to the same degree at the same time.  These circumstances make the consequences of the underlying conflict difficult to address, and thus they continue to obstruct the desired implementation of a common CL environment that could serve as a resource for work on both sides of the frame.
