Re: lojban imperfections?
Or, if you don't like precisifying the usual word to suit your needs (and,
hopefully, using a new word in Lojban), you can stop putting your begivens
into a box and put them in a heap, with the clearly given in the center and
the others toward the periphery, more so as less clearly given. That is, you
can drop your Manichean yes/no classifcation and move to a fuzzy one. The
book sounds about .7 given, to me (use .7, but claim it is a fuzzy number).
Everybody agrees that you can do this in Lojban, though I am not at all sure
that the exact way how to do it is as clear.
Belknap must be away this week.
