SUO: Re: CYC Event vs. SUMO Process -- Really Different?
o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o
Erik,
This is merely my attempt to extend an olive branch.
There is actually no real question in the relevant
research communities about the fundamental importance
and the "generic, meta, upper" utility of these very
first elements of scientific and technical concepts,
and this particular relation among events and logic
and sets has been a commonplace since Boole lumped
them all into the very same book. But if you want
to live in bubble, and think that you can ignore
the previous history of wisdom built into these
usages, then be my guest. Just sign your work
with your own name and do not drag down the
good names of others who know what they
are talking about.
