!! Toward a quantitative form of Lojban !!!ckinytadji selsku * ''((fy. fancu lo'i ni terzu'e lo'i ni selsnada .ije li ma'o fy.boi du'e du li mo'a))'' How can we express "Too many goals means too few accomplishments" in a quantitative form? *''((fancu le'i nu funca))'' It depends on luck. !!!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))) **''cmima'' x1 is a member of set x2 [[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 [[girzu pagbu, set-part] ** 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, ... **''dunli'' x1 is equal/congruent to x2 in/on property/quality/dimension/quantity x3 [[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 [[also negative (= nonme'a)]; **''jdika'' x1 (experiencer) decreases/contracts/is reduced/diminished in property/quantity x2 by amount x3 **''zmadu'' x1 is greater than x2 [[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] *** or ''nalmau'' x1 is not greater than x2 **''dubjavmau'' x1 is greater than or equal to x2 [[du ja zmadu, equal or greater] *** or ''nalme'a'' x1 is not less than x2 **''tamdu'i'' x1 is similar to x2 [[tarmi dunli, shape-equal] **''turdu'i'' x1 is isomorphic to x2 [[stura dunli, structure-equal] **''pabdu'i'' x1 is proportional to x2 [[parbi dunli, ratio-equal] **''na'ujbi'' x1 is approximately equal to [[namcu jibni, number-near] **''lamji'' x1 is adjacent/beside/next to/in contact with x2 in property/sequence x3 in direction x4 [[also touching, contiguous, against]; * 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 [[x3 is a [[model] for x1 (= termontai, or the more abstract = termonsi'o); **mokca x1 is a point/instant/moment [[0-dimensional shape/form] in/on/at time/place x2 **linji x1 is a line/among lines [[1-dimensional shape/form] defined by set of points x2.

[[also: x1 is even/planar/level]; (x2 is a set of points at least sufficient to define the plane) **canlu x1 is space/volume/region/room [[at-least-3-dimensional area] occupied by x2. [[also occupy (= selca'u)] * Logical Inference (see ((logical induction & deduction))) **deduction: ''nibli, ja'o'' **induction: ''sucta, su'a'' **abduction: ''tolsucta, su'anai'' ---- !!!ckinytadji nalca'ima'o * '''(( JAhA + CAI|ja'axi )) [[NA]:''' bridi truth value scalar * '''((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))
