Re: [lojban] Individuals and xorlo
la .guskant. cu cusku di'e
Actually, I didn't need {lo mokca} in order to say that any {lo linji}
are not one or more individuals.
I mentioned {lo mokca} only for clarifying the structure of {lo linji},
but it was really unnecessary.
Only I need to say is that {lo linji xi ny me lo linji xi my} continues
infinitely in that universe of discourse.
In other words, this is an infinite instance of {lo re prenu cu me lo mu
prenu}.
I'm not sure I follow.
Let's say the original single line segment L looks like this:
|-----------------------------------------------| <- {lo linji}
L
You seem to be saying that L is not an individual because we can turn it
into multiple smaller line segments A, B, C, like this:
|---------------| |---------------| |---------------|
A B C
Further, you seem to be saying that A, B, and C are all among L. You
also seem to be saying that each of A, B, C are not individuals either,
because we can further split them, like this:
|-------|-------| |-------|-------| |-------|-------|
M N O P Q R
And that M and N are among A, and so on.
Is this what you are saying?
I would say that the only line segment that is among L is L itself. A is
not among L, nor are B or C, let alone M, N, O, ...
A, B and C are *part* of L. M is *part* of A.
If you introduce new objects, then you are creating a new universe of
discourse each time, so the original singular {lo linji} is no longer
relevant. It seems like your {me} is jumping across domains.
Would you say that {lo sakta cu me lo najnimryjisra}? For me it would be
a very definite No.
