None of this follows.  The curve on the class membership function and the truth value curve need not be the same.  We might for example accept something as an island (tv = 1) even though it was less than a perfect island (cm=.9 say -- maybe there is a sand spit that touches the beach on the main at very low tide).  And what the relations held by {ckaji} and {le ka ce'u daplu} are pretty much up for grabs until we decide how these notions are interrelated (presumably, the {ckaji} is again .8 but that may not signify if "being characterized by" is different from "being a member of," which it well may be ( cf. {ni} and {jei}). --part1_a6.19f74db6.28db71cc_boundary--
