We might as well restart it here, since it wasn't really resolved. Some of the positions were: 1) x1 has to be facing x3 (Nobody really supported this, but the English wording of some example or other suggested it.) 2) x2 has to be facing x3 (This is somewhat suggested by the wording of the definition.) 3) x2 need not necessarily have a face (it may be a ball, for example) but if some object like a person were to stand where x2 is, and face towards x3, then x1 would be to their right. 4) Something else I don't remember. 5) x3 and only x3 determines which way is right and which way is left. Only the location, not the orientation, of x2 matters. My choice was (5). The problem with (3) is that it requires an externally given up/down direction for unambiguity. Also, it is not clear how one would say "he sits at the right hand of the father". What would we put in x3 in such cases? mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
