o--what i was trying to say is basically that "ghost" has come to designate a type of object and that "science" investigates that object.
behind that, there's a confusion of what nouns like "ghost" to do enframe (delimit as an object, say, at the level of a signified) and the phenomena (the referent)...
the rest of it is a short sequence of riffs based on the oed material, so the splits and separations you can see that shape how ghost currently operates.
