The frame of reference has to be something like "from my point of view" or so and then the issue is how to say it. Maybe we can assume that the frame of reference is always a person looking some way and collapse the whole to the person (as you seem to suggest) and assume he is looking the way he in fact is, but that seems to me to miss a lot of cases. How are they to be expressed? --- Jorge Llambías wrote: > On 3/17/06, John E Clifford > wrote: > > I think it is important to stress the "in > frame > > of reference" version of x3, especially if > the > > "facing" version is creating problems.
