Ambiguities in language: we are trying to flatten a rounded structure
like making a flat map from a globe

instance vs class
in every relation, make every entity an instance
whenever a modify is done to a noun an instance is required every relation is by nature an instance the nouns in the relation are not instances unless explicitly stated
a thought can be about a class or about an instance
family of Nid typeof family, no name, owned by Nid Jerry typeof person, named Jerry instance, named, permanent temporary, only for purpose of the current thought can we create temp instances, without putting them in the mind.entities dict?

two options subj:Objek -> link/verb:Objek -> obj:Objek verb:Objek modifier subj Objek obj Objek why where "object" and "entity" imply a noun "instance" - can also be a verb or a link. is that true?

where you go grocery store why because i am hungry
why to buy food why to eat the food why because I'm hungry where will you eat the food at home

shortcut sequential verb phrases, all with implied subject
relation is subject plus verb phrase
"empty" -> "implied" for subject "empty" -> "unspecified" for object
relation is phrase: verb, adj, adv
two ways to represent relation:
verb: subject and object are modifiers noun: verb phrase is modifier
houn: modifier timestamp is time we first heard about this modifier verb: timestamp is time the action took place
Bangkok on the earth Bangkok on a map - map of Bangkok model of Bangkok photo same Bangkok, one real, one representation
Nid, photo of Nid, photo of Nid Nid, clone, clone of Nid, Nid is now klas all representations “of”, until you clone it
vocabulary - semantic hierarchy
syntactic hierarchy
thoughts can be expressed in a variety of ways
verb first, noun first, etc I suppose they could be stored in a variet of ways also so just pick one way and go with it remember Alan Watts saying every noun is an action, a being
a verb timestamp is the time or period of the action (when) a noun timestamp is the time i first heard about this attribute
do we want timestamps? other than the when modifier? yes we want the timestamp and the source(user) of every thot though these will not be used in normal conversation, only in self-reflection
verb phrase includes modifiers, including link to object noun phrase includes modifiers sentence is noun phrase + verb phrase a thought can start anywhere: subj or verb, is that true?
duplicate relations
must be separate so they can be modified they happen at different times, so are different thoughts and must be recorded therefore, accesscount is never more than 1 a relation is like an objek in that sense
scan modifiers scan relations
scan modifiers now, then add relations
patterns:
@person verbs links objects
