Re: [lojban] "almost"

[Jacob Errington <nictytan@gmail.com>]

Hmmm, interesting ideas.
I had tried to make a lujvo for mistake-write, but it couldn't be too
clear whether the x2 was the word that was supposed to be written, or
the word that was written instead. Something like [sreci'a].

>pu'o jenai ca'a
That's pretty clever, but I have a small problem about the future in
Lojban. Assuming everything one says is true in Lojban, then claims
about the future must be true, which can be pretty difficult to do
because -- well -- the future is unknown.

Due to the unpredictable nature of the future (compared to the past
which is a collection of true or false or in between statements) maybe
all statements involving a future tense are somewhat already tensed
with a "in one or more worlds, possibly excluding this one" i.e.
[ka'e] under my interpretation of CAhA. Hm, I wonder if one of the
other CAhA has the interpretation "in one or more worlds, strictly
excluding this one" (where "this one" is "the world of dei"). Maybe
{nu'o}?
