Quoth Chris Arney (the PM): "What we're envisioning with this language is the ability for a robot to say, 'Hey, I just saw a bunch of troops going into the woods. What do you want me to do?'" ******* This would seem worthwhile to explicitly address in the proposal? Could one of you translate this into fluent Lojban for me? I will then give an explicit predicate logic form of the utterance, corresponding to the Lojban form... Thanks... Ben
