Re: [jboske] Gadri for you

By the time the debates ended, & according to my understanding at that
point:

1. Something very much like CLL's typicality gadri. This seemed to me
neither essential nor parrticularly useful, but did (after a number of
further clarifications from Nick about how he thought it should work)
seem logically coherent.

2. The Kind gadri. The only reason for assigning this to {lo'e} was
prior usage (xorxes's), and simply assigning Kind to {lo'e} doesn't
of itself allow us to express everything we wanted it to. (More details
when we reopen the subject properly.)

So, in conclusion, I'd say that in my mind one of the things most clearly
settled in the last debate was (1) -- i.e. that {lo'e} can be very much
as defined by CLL. It therefore doesn't really belong within the system
of the other gadri, & can be largely ignored when considering the
gadri system.
