(The way of the universe) Replying to my own mail, perhaps we could even make a lujvo out of it...I am hardly an expert at lujvo-making, but would something like "mujytadji" work? Then we'd have our own Lojban word for "Tao"....with a subtle shade of meaning. This could be taken in the global sense as the way the universe works overall, or in the specific sense of the way some aspect of the universe works, such as gravity. mujytadji: the way of the universe; how the universe as a whole, or a specific law of the universe, works. x1 is the universe's way of doing x2 defined by rules x3. steve
