It was Jorge in response to me for the umpteenth time expressing my
annoyance about having to choose a gadri and/or quantifier for inherently
(noncontingently) singleton categories. So that's what I see {tu'o} as
for -- for things that in any possible world there can be only one of.
{tu'o} doesn't solve the annoyance of having to *use* a gadri/quantifier,
but at least it removes the annoyance of having to vacuously *choose* one


Ah, now that is relatively clear and a reasonable reading of "null".  Sorry
if I missed it earlier. --part1_2f.1a850645.28c9e02f_boundary--
