If even concepts (per se) are unique (like synsets)

WordNet synsets) also ordered and unique in terms of some conceptional
identifier over a vocabulary (of said conceptions and
synsets)?

Hmmm, Ferenc, maybe some words of warning for
now:
In my last paragraph below I noted the further
potential for data
mining, but that is only a very minor part of what I
mean by
top-down/bottom-up processes. Worse, perhaps,
from your point of
view, it is not where the main qualitative impact
will be from the
spread of MACK. At risk of causing further
confusion at this
stage, I might add that I have always valued
appropriateness of
concept over any kind of merely statistical
connection.
But I still eagerly look forward to the outcome your
synchronizing
processes!

Chris, I think I should try to synchronize with you
as many of
ideas
presented I share but call a different
name.
Will elaborate on that
soon.
Thanks a lot
Ferenc
