I'd say x1 is a collection of axioms, theorems, methods of computation, etc.

I don't see how scales can be reference standards. I'm giving an example with 
a reference standard: "lo si'o snidu cu gradu lo nu lo sodnrcezi ratni cu

Both, I think.

I'd like to see examples of "gucti" and "minli" with all places filled. (They
