Re: SUO: IFF Thread 1: Why Category Theory?




Jim,
   Maybe at this point you and Robert could revisit the message I sent on 
Aug 20 <http://suo.ieee.org/email/msg06027.html>, to which Robert 
ultimately replied that he didn't have time to answer 
<http://suo.ieee.org/email/msg06380.html>.  Robert had provided an example 
of using IFF to formalize a set of English statements.  I did the same 
formalization in SUO-KIF alone, and concluded that IFF did not offer any 
formal content that could be used in practical inference.  I would welcome 
specific rebuttal.
