I knew nothing of the existence of triv= alent logic before this thread, but there is something I can say.

I want something that a 5y.o. could understand.
For those interested in diving in, I started getting an idea by= instead glancing at wikiponia and then reading over the Aymara= document. Also for those diving in, it's useful to know that the author of= that other link starts with an introduction, proceeds to some basic descri= ption of bivalent logic when the bullets show up, gets into the nitty-gritt= y description of bivalent logic when the tables show up, and finally gets t= o the trivalent stuff with "Representation of trivalent truth-values"

I BELIEVE TH= AT IT'S ONE OF FEW GREAT IDEAS THAT LOJBAN CURRENTLY LACKS.
S= o actually I'm quite interested in it.
Although I don't like rede= fining the meaning of any cmavo including CAI.
I= would like to mention here that rather than redefining CAI, you could:
define an experimental cmavo as "a trivalent logic marker" a= nd use CAI on it as one was proposing to use CAI on ja'a
define= a couple of base experimental cmavo to represent a few of the base trivale= nt logics, as was done in lojban with the bivalent logical connectives, and= then define how CAI alter them.

Past that, I actually have a fundamental question= that, when answered, should probably help a newbie jump into discussion. W= hat are the examples (in lojban) of instances what these terms refer to: mo= dal functor, connective (two-variable) functor.

Honestly, I find it something that will not be of particular use to me,<= /span>

Imagine or not but the whole Lojban is of no = use for me. And for most inhabitants of the Earth.

but = it sounds pretty cool if {rodo} manage to get it working for yourselves. Th= us, make an orthogonal usage of Lojban, please.

If I only knew how to explain all that stuff in plain language. I unders= tand it in formulae but when it comes to choosing words in real conversatio= n it'll be a nightmare for me.

I guess we just need to prod= uce a bunch of sentences and learn them by rot in order to use these new cm= avo IRL.
