What's the deal with moi?

There are two related ways to use moi:

  1. "numeric moi" (more common) and
  2. "associative moi".

For "numeric moi", there is some debate over the nature of moi3, the ordering rule.

Shown here are various definitions and Lojban expansions by various people.

See also the relevant BPFK section.
