What?! It never crossed my mind to actually use those predicates. Good thing that the plan failed, then. They were presented in jboske to show, among other stuff, that what had been perpetrated upon poor {sisku} could be done to any place of any other predicate. And it wouldn't involve just duplication, but exponentiation: klama for example, with 5 places, would have 32 versions, the most changed one with all five places altered:
"Something with property x1 goes to place with property x2 from place with property x3 via route with property x4 by means with property x5."

Happily, that is not quite the shift I am suggesting; even {sisku} needs some rewriting. wikidiscuss@lojban.org wrote:Re: Intensions
