I especially choked on this piece: "An idea is the basic word of the language. They are divided into 0, 1, 2 with focus 1, and 2 with focus 2 argument ideas, as well as base and custom." Now, "base" and "custom" get defined only after this sentence, "focus" never gets defined at all, and even with those terms understood I just can't parse the grammar of that sentence. -- The tao that can be tar(1)ed is not the entire Tao. The path that can be specified is not the Full Path.
