Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: questions about lojban



Not only have we strayed far from the original topic, but this is not really relevant to the beginners list.

So is the object analogy.

Good thing lojban is not predicate logic then, right?
Ever tried to say "coi" in first order logic?

The perspective you describe is just that: a perspective.
I like it, but still you shouldn't walk around telling people
with different perspectives they got it all wrong.

Looking at "p(a)" people see vastly different things:
- A function/functor application mapping an element a to
  a truth value
- A property of an object a which might be part of
  a large taxonomy of objects that might have that property
- A node in some semantic ontology
- A plain and simple statement
- ...

Not to speak of different philosophical perspectives on propositions.

None of these are wrong. Maybe some are "better" for you,
but that might be due to your use cases.
