[lojban] Supplicatory Model: "under conditions".

[Robin Lee Powell <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

I just realized that I have no idea if "under conditions" places
(such as that in zgana) are intended to be subjunctive.  There are
two possibilities, and I think this explains a lot of the confusion
over them:

1.  The x4 of zgana describes environmental conditions that happen
to be in place the time of observation ("environmental" in the
broadest possible sense).

2.  The x4 of zgana describes those conditions that must be in place
for the bridi to be true.

#2 is what I've always assumed, but thinking about it now I realize
that that would make things Really Wierd, given that that's not how
Lojban normally works.

I'd like to know which was intended.

Also, suggestions on how to rephrase things for either case would be
Very Much Appreciated, because the definitions should not allow for
this sort of confusion.
