Re: [lojban] NU semantics

Discussion with John and Adam led me to conclude that {da li''i broda kei ko'a}
means that ko'a experiences lo ka'e nu broda as if it were lo ca'a nu broda.
It emerged from that discussion that ca'a = "existing in local spacetime"
(for predicates that entail existence in spacetime) and ka'e =
"not necessarily existing in local spacetime". So, taking the Real World
as our local spacetime, Sherlock Holmes is a ka'e prenu but not a
ca'a prenu, while John Cowan is both a ka'e prenu and a ca'a prenu.
In the fictional Holmesian spacetime, Sherlock is of course a ca'a
prenu.
