Things have classifiers in mental models. (03)
I would hold that the only classifiers that something might have in the
"real world" are those that sentient beings have attached to them. (04)
Less sentient beings than humans would have fewer and rougher
classifiers (food, predator, prey, ...). (05)
But what would it mean for something to have a classifier, if it
hasn't been assigned by some sentient being? (06)
