==== Proposed Definition ====
==== ckinytadji vlaselcmi ====


With cause... Tags a sumti as fitting the 1st place of rinka.  Augments the bridi in which it occurs, adding an extra place with the meaning of the 1st place of rinka and then fills it with the tagged sumti. In other words, the event described by the bridi is caused by the referent of the tagged sumti.
[[jbocre: Math terminology|math terminology]] proposes some technical terms, but it's light on words that are useful in everyday life. I think there are plenty; I'm starting this list. ''mi'e [[jbocre: jezrax|jezrax]]'' (I think [[User:xod|xod]] added most of this.)


====  Proposed Tag ====
* ''selcmi'', ''klesi'' (sets)
** superset - ''selkle''


rinka modal
** set, subset - ''klesi''
** proper subset - ''nalrolmeilei'' (from the [[jbocre: jvoste|jvoste]])


====  See Also ====
**''cmima''      x1 is a member of set x2 [[jbocre: x1 may be a complete or incomplete list of members; x2 is normally marked by la'i/le'i/lo'i, defining the set in terms of its common property(ies), though it may be a complete enumeration of the membership]];
**''gripau''          x1 is a subset of set x2 [[jbocre: girzu pagbu, set-part|girzu pagbu, set-part]]


* {rinka}
** disjoint -
* {ja'e}
** overlapping (with non-empty intersection) -

**''du''              x1 is identical to x2, x3, x4, ...


''.i le bolci cu farlu ri'a lo nu mi co'u sarji ri''<br />
**''dunli''          x1 is equal/congruent to x2 in/on property/quality/dimension/quantity x3 [[jbocre: same in quantity/quality (not necessarily in identity); 'analogy' may be expressed as the equivalence of two properties of similarity (ka x1 simsa x2) and (ka x3 simsa x4)]] (.ua zo du cu dunli jenai du zo dunli .i le si'o du kei cu du le si'o dunli fi ko le ka bu'a)
**''mleca''          x1 is less than x2 in property/quantity x3 (ka/ni) by amount x4 [[jbocre: also negative (= nonme'a)]];


The ball fell because I stopped holding it up.
**''jdika''          x1 (experiencer) decreases/contracts/is reduced/diminished in property/quantity x2 by amount x3
**''zmadu''          x1 is greater than x2 [[jbocre: also positive (= nonmau)]];


{BOX}
**''zenba''          x1 (experiencer) increases/is incremented/augmented in property/quantity x2 by amount x3

With what cause? Tags a sumti question marker as fitting the first place of rinka.  Augments the bridi in which it occurs, adding an extra place with the meaning of the first place of rinka and then fills it with a sumti question cmavo (ma).  In other words, the tagged sumti asks what physically caused the event described by the bridi. 
**''na'ujbi''        x1 is approximately equal to [[jbocre: namcu jibni, number-near|namcu jibni, number-near]]
**''lamji''          x1 is adjacent/beside/next to/in contact with x2 in property/sequence x3 in direction x4 [[jbocre: also touching, contiguous, against|also touching, contiguous, against]];

* How?


====  Usage Examples ====
* '''[[jbocre: JAhA + CAI a'axi|JAhA + CAI a'axi]] [[jbocre: NA|NA]]:''' bridi truth value scalar


''mi na djuno lo du'u ri'a ma kau mi cortu le stedu''<br />
* '''[[jbocre: xoi'a|xoi'a]] [[jbocre: PU|PU]]:''' increasing linearly over time
**''la papri xoi'a pelxu'' The page is yellowing.


I don't know why my head hurts.<br />
* '''[[jbocre: xoi'e|xoi'e]] [[jbocre: PU|PU]]:''' exponential increasing
**''do xoi'e lojbo certu''  You're learning Lojban at an exponential rate.


<br />
* Semantically, ''xoi'a''/''xoi'e'' belong in ZAhO, since they deal with change in truth over time. For example, ''co'a'' is change from categorically false to categorically true. ''xoi'a''/''xoi'e'' deal with rates of increase in degree of truth. However, there are several possible rates of increase, and there is also the possibility of decrease, so I think this domain of meaning requires some more comprehensive proposal than simply these two cmavo. --[[User:And Rosta|And Rosta]]

It should be noted (and this applies to all BAI+nai constructs) that while the above example asserts that "mi nelci do", and it asserts that this isn't a result of "do melbi", it does *not* assert "do melbi" one way or the other.

==  Notes ==
 
==  Impact ==
 
There exists a contradiction between the CLL and the ma'oste about the meaning of BAInai WRT causals. The interpretation we are using (explicated in the preface section) here for "ri'a nai" and such matches with that found in the CLL (Chapter 9, Section 13). To get the meaning shown in the ma'oste (despite...), it is suggested to use e.g. to'eri'anai instead of ri'anai.
 
This is shown as the following:
 
* ri'a == with cause
* ri'anai == not with cause (regardless of cause)
 
* to'eri'a == prevented by
* to'eri'anai == not prevented by (despite)

Toward a quantitative form of Lojban

ckinytadji selsku

ckinytadji vlaselcmi

math terminology proposes some technical terms, but it's light on words that are useful in everyday life. I think there are plenty; I'm starting this list. mi'e jezrax (I think xod added most of this.)

  • selcmi, klesi (sets)
    • superset - selkle
    • set, subset - klesi
    • proper subset - nalrolmeilei (from the jvoste)
    • disjoint -
    • overlapping (with non-empty intersection) -

Note: klesi is a set defined by a rule; selcmi is a set defined by its membership.

  • fancu (functions)
    • monotonically increasing - farstodi zenba
    • monotonically decreasing - farstodi jdika
    • bounded above - galseljimte
    • bounded below - dziseljimte
  • cuncmaci (statistics)
    • statistically independent -
    • correlated -
    • fadytercu'o x1 = cunso3 (set) follows a Gaussian probability distribution with independent variable x2 = cunso
  • Simple relationships (zbepi terki'i)
    • du x1 is identical to x2, x3, x4, ...
    • jdika x1 (experiencer) decreases/contracts/is reduced/diminished in property/quantity x2 by amount x3
    • zmadu x1 is greater than x2 jbocre: also positive (= nonmau);
    • zenba x1 (experiencer) increases/is incremented/augmented in property/quantity x2 by amount x3
    • dubjavme'a x1 is less than or equal to x2 du ja mleca, equal or less
  • Assorted useful brivla (vrici selpli brivla)
    • fancu x1 is a function/single-valued mapping from domain x2 to range x3 defined by expression/rule x4 (ru'a le fancu cu cmene le velfancu)
    • manri x1 is a frame of reference/standard for observing/measuring/determining x2, with/by rules x3
    • ckilu x1 (si'o) is a scale of units for measuring/observing/determining x2 (state)
    • cimde x1 (property - ka) is a dimension of space/object x2 according to rules/model x3
    • morna x1 is/reflects/represents a pattern of forms/events x2 arranged according to structure x3 [[jbocre: x3 is a [jbocre: model|model]] for x1 (= termontai, or the more abstract = termonsi'o);
    • mokca x1 is a point/instant/moment jbocre: 0-dimensional shape/form in/on/at time/place x2
    • induction: sucta, su'a
    • abduction: tolsucta, su'anai

  • xoi'a PU: increasing linearly over time
    • la papri xoi'a pelxu The page is yellowing.
  • xoi'e PU: exponential increasing
    • do xoi'e lojbo certu You're learning Lojban at an exponential rate.
  • Semantically, xoi'a/xoi'e belong in ZAhO, since they deal with change in truth over time. For example, co'a is change from categorically false to categorically true. xoi'a/xoi'e deal with rates of increase in degree of truth. However, there are several possible rates of increase, and there is also the possibility of decrease, so I think this domain of meaning requires some more comprehensive proposal than simply these two cmavo. --And Rosta
