  1. This time last year, #brismu was at 2.17% complete. It is currently at 4.41% defined and 12.52% ontologized. We can and will define #lojban so that we may do logic with it.

  2. As with all #brismu concepts, there is a fundamental shift in expected word usage. In traditional #Lojban, I might translate "this is blue" as:

    ti blanu

    And "this is colored blue" as:

    ti skari lo blanu

    However, this second utterance uses the high-level discursive article {lo}. If we want to be less ambiguous and fully quantified, then we would need a {ka}:

    ti skari pa ka [ce'u] blanu

    Which implies:

    ti ckaji pa ka blanu

    Which, finally, implies:

    ti blanu

  3. The #brismu project to formalize #Lojban has entered a new phase. There is now a bipartite book mostawesomedude.github.io/bris which contains the original brismu notes in one part, and formal proofs of some non-trivial theorems in the other part.

    Contributions are welcome, particularly from folks who are willing to work with #Metamath or are familiar with #CategoryTheory.

    The next bits of work will be establishing a bibliography, proving a few more easy theorems, and then refactoring the notes into a coherent narrative.

    I currently project that at least 10% of baseline Lojban can be formalized without any changes to colloquial usage.
