Re: Collective: definition



And OK, the rice was a bad example. It's retracted. I still think the indivisible tuple is useful--- that a Lojbanmass allows the reading {piroloi == pimuloi today, pimuloi tomorrow}, and that the collective blocks it. But bringing rice and eating into it was a spectacular misstep.
