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

The #brismu project to formalize #Lojban has entered a new phase. There is now a bipartite book https://mostawesomedude.github.io/brismu/ 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.
