The distinction you draw is a valid one that I hadn't thought of
before. I'd say that the 'comment' construal of JAhA+CAI better
approximates what I had in mind when I proposed it, though the
simple notion of there being degrees of truth (analogous to the
speed of something that is moving: fast:moving :: very:true) is
not incompatible with functionhood.

As for JAhA+XI, that was developed (by Official Persons) as a way to
do fuzzy logic, so the intention of that is that it be function
not comment.
