Re: SUO: RE: Reductions Among Relations




Pat,

If you formalized that transformation, the result would be
similar to what we did with "give":

>Suppose that each ontology has documentation which says, for each 
>important B in it, what the reason C is for that B. And the ontology 
>also says that it - the ontology - was authored by A. Then everything

You might be able to replace triadic relations with triadic
connections to some other entity, but you will still need
triads somewhere in your plumbing.

>But silly brownie-pointing aside, I disagree with Lee's claim.

Let's you and him fight.  I'll watch from the sidelines.
