We earlier shared an anecdote of implicit or “chrysalis-enclosed”
knowledge, from an introspective five-year-old of our acquaintance:
Compare this childhood reminiscence of a boy growing up on
the Upper East Side:
I remember my grandmother’s house
quite well. It was a very cold
formal place. There was an
enormous marble entrace hall …
We behaved extremely well. We
knew the rules inside out without knowing
the rules.

Remember This: An Oral History of
Manhattan from the 1890s to World
War II (1989), p. 120
