Indeed, it may even be to'e dacti on some scale. If you interpret the words "object enduring in space time" to include abstarctions, we need a better wording of the definition. Indeed, I think "object enduring in space time" excludes anything without physical bounds and structure (is a gas, plasma, or liquid an object? lo dacti?). ---- lojbab lojbab@access.digex.net Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: ftp.access.digex.net /pub/access/lojbab or see Lojban WWW Server: href="http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/" Order _The Complete Lojban Language_ - see our Web pages or ask me.
