Reading Schegloff's Turn Organization paper yesterday...
What is TCU beginning?
It must be directed towards the ending (TCU possible completion)
And... the ending is interrelated with the internal grammar

analogy...

What is good wife?
It depends on the husband...
What kind of husband that usually gets good wife?
It depends on their interaction in the marriage...
Such a cyclical logic...

Just like asking
Is it this?
Yes... but not really...
Then it must be this one?
Hmmm... can be, but not quite there


Hwaaah...
