SUO: Re: CYC Event vs. SUMO Process -- Really Different?
Jon,
Thanks for the vituperation. What does this have to do with the suggestion I raised? Also I don't know why you're assuming things about who knows and doesn't know what they're talking about. You're the one sending in Lewis Carrolian tutorials on topics that I and many others learned about in graduate (and undergraduate) school years ago. Give me a break. If you have some substantive position about how the group should proceed, please offer it. Otherwise keep your rudeness to yourself.

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.
