To be honest, it is not really a METAPHOR.

It is something intermediary between a METAPHOR and a FORMAL ANALOGY.

It is funny because it would be the first trope that is exclusive to lojban.

The // operator tells the speaker to "mix together" the meaning of two
broda, but not in a tanru form.

Rather in a way such that the * operator will recall the semantic of
broda when brode is said.

Thus I say first cat//info, mixing together the semantics of "cat" and
"piece of information"

Then when I say The *cat is dead, I mean that the info is Xed, where
X::die = info::cat.

I understand by formal analogy resolution that this means the info is
no longer available... (or is rotten)

Formal analogy resolution is regarded by AI folks as as much natural
as, say, addition or multiplication of real numbers
