At any rate, besides wanting to ask that in future you post details by email & not just an url, I wanted to reply just that it seems to me that the main challenge is not to design a 'logically' satisfactory gadri system, but rather to design a 'logically' satisfactory gadri system that is also consistent with the predilections of conservatives & fundamentalists. Unlike Nick, I have no reliable intuitions about rationally-founded conservative/fundamentalist views, so the only contribution I can make is to assess the logical coherence of a scheme once it is deemed acceptable to the confundies, and accordinly I've been waiting for Nick to post his scheme (& I have every sympathy with the long time it is taking Nick to produce it). In other words, I am leaving it to somebody else to come up with a gadri scheme acceptable to the general lojbanist, and to persuade the general lojbanist of the need for it. Once such a scheme is on the table, I will see if I can find logical holes in it. --And.
