Duane,
I number you among the best programmers, but I
never written any line of code. Nevetheless, for one of your triad i'd
not spare a Nobel. But what i am missing why John is promoting Okham, who
stuck in the referential partial view of meaning as "the thing referred, so much
contributing to a defective extensional semantics. If to advice
Richard some historical readings on logics and semantics, the best one is
Port-Royal Logique, where meaning was correctly analyzed as consisting at
least of two dimensions: intension and extension.
Re. Richard, as i said, he has not only an honest
open mind but also real intelligence. Nowadays, it is a rare thing to find the
mind caring about the real world.

Dick:
I have been following this conversation
from day one and really urge you to hear what Chris, Pat and John are saying.
These guys have devoted their lives to this work and have separated the
aspects of ?labels? and ?conceptual work?. IMO ? you cannot pay
all the money in the world for better advice. Conceptual work is
where ontology work should be done, the labeling is where most people
mistakenly think they are doing it. When you have 3 of the world?s
leading experts (yes ? that is just my opinion) on a topic stating that your
approach could use re-considering, it is worth giving it a thought.
There is no malice in this group and there are a lot of people
genuinely interested in helping mKR. I think if you can take this in and
consider the feedback as viable, it might help your efforts substantially.
I personally came to this group and have learned so much by being
willing to be open to their perspectives. Please give it a careful
thought.

mKR closer to Ockham's mental language.
Nothing you write on paper or
enter into a computer is
"close" to a mental language.
If you want
to learn something go study. Pat and Chris
gave up on you long
ago.
I am always willing to go an extra mile with a student
who is
willing to think about the issues and do some
extra reading to fill gaps.
But I have no desire to
try to tutor anybody whose mind is a steel
trap.
Goodbye.
John
