No it isn't. The po= int is to remove /syntactic/ ambiguity, not /semantic/.

Can't lojban remove or increase semantic ambig= uity too?
Well, closed/open is also very often found in computer = related terminology. In both cases I suggested {jai pruce} or alternatively= {akti} =3D "x1 is active in x2 [activity]".
