Title: What is simple sentence?
Post by: Eddie Mars on 05/08/2022 10:02:34
Hi,

Basic concepts:  Thing, Connection/Space

Connection/Space is a thing but it is not a thing to things it connects/contains.

- - -

Connections/0-d spaces:

Equivalence - Thing itself is Connection_without_direction/order;

Set - Connection_without_direction/order;

-

State/Quality - Connection_over_1 (colour, intransitive verb', ...)

-

Genitive connection:

Definition - Genitive_is''

Embedding/Recursion - Genitive_has''

-

non_Genitive connection:

next-ness” - non_Genitive_is'' (Instr. case, transitive verb'', ...)

- - -

1-d space/connection

- - -

2-d space/connection

- - -

3-d space/connection

- - -

...

= = =

Name is Thing.

-

Observer is Thing.

-

Event is Equivalence (Connection) of the Observer and a connection (which are Things).

-

Natural number is a quality of a set (which is Connection, which is Thing) of things which have same (common) quality.

-

"Simple sentence" is Name of a Simple sentence/Event; ...
...

-

Grammatical case is a denotation (by certain means) of a missing (left out) verb/connection ...

-

Divider divides Space into Sub_Spaces/Places called Prepositions and other.

Sub_Spaces/Places in 0-d Space are the prepositions of and with.

/of is a place in Genitive_has''
/with is a place in non_Genitive_is''

= = =

Complementarity:

Things in a set are complementary;
Without_order and with_order are complementary;
Equivalence and Set are complementary ("Out" and "In" Connection_without_order);
Genitive and non_Genitive are complementary (Connection_with_order);
Genitive_is'' and Genitive_has'' are complementary;
good and bad are complementary;
right and wrong are complementary;
beginning and end are complementary;
...

/there are sets of 3, 4, ... elements/

= = =

...

I am so sorry. It is my bad - I forgot.

Simple sentence is Event.

Hi,

Part_1 (looks more like grammar - "Static") Things, Connections/Spaces

Equivalence "gives" Sides.

Set "gives" Complementarity.

Genitive-ness "gives" Levels/Hierarchy/Power.

Non_Genitive-ness "gives" Next-ness.

Connection_over_1 "gives" Existence (State/Quality actually).


Part_2 (does not look like grammar - "Dynamic") Machine (-s)

Connections/Spaces with direction/order form Flows/Currents.

Genitive forms Feeding/Eating.

Non_Genitive forms Transactions/Exchange.

Creation/Annihilation_over_0/1 is here (Change of State/Quality actually).

1-d space with its 2 directions of movement(/flow/current) is here.

Simple sentence is Event.
Just to let you know, the following is not a sentence in the English language. 

Event.

Hi,

"Simple sentence":

is Name of a Simple sentence/Event;
consists of Names;
is a result of events.

The "Simple sentence" is (has to be) simple, convenient, not exact.

Then the "Simple sentence" is one defined verb by:

subject (and object, the parts of the connection);
exact moment (there are inexact moments also);
as a part of a grammatical case (probably always Nominative)
...

The "Simple sentence" has/employs:

Grammatical cases;
Omissions;
Abbreviations;
Replacements/Substitutions;
Errors;
Prepositions;
...

= = =

There are different is (be) in "Simple sentence" (the Name of the Event/Simple sentence):

is' - State/Quality of Existence of a thing;
Genitive_is" - Definition;
non_Genitive_is" - "next-ness";
is" (''', '''', ...) Equivalence.

= = =

Word is Name.
/to have a word (with someone)/

A sentence is Word. A phrase is Word. A word is Word. A root is Word. An affix is Word. A word ending is Word.
A word is made of words.

- - -

Set (Connection_without_direction/order) or Equivalence (Connection_without_direction/order)?!
Set will be used for simplicity, Equivalence will be meant.

Word is both Set (Connection; Connection is Thing) and every element (Thing) of that Set of:

written word - encoding of letters (, signs and gestures);
spoken word - encoding of sounds;
misspelled, mispronounced, ... word - encoding recognised as the word in question;
meaning - encoding of/through Things and Spaces.

Meaningful_Word is a Set (Word) which contains Meaning.
not_Meaningful_Word (gibberish, babble) is a Set (Word) which does not contain Meaning.

- - -


Event has structure: Observer (thing) - Equivalence (thing-connection) - Connection (thing).
Without that structure there isn't event-thought-simple sentence. Without event there isn't anything.

= = =

Verb read" in " John read" book " is a non_Genitive connection (transitive/divalent verb).

Verb read' in " John read' " is a Connection_over_1/State/Quality (read' and red' (colour) are states/qualities).

" Apple is' red'. "

is', go', ... (intransitive verbs)

The Blind Men and the Elephant --
John Godfrey Saxe's (1816-1887) version of the famous Indian legend:

It was six men of Indostan,
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.

The First approach'd the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!"

The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, -"Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 'tis mighty clear,
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!"

The Third approach'd the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
"I see," -quoth he- "the Elephant
Is very like a snake!"

The Fourth reached out an eager hand,
And felt about the knee:
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain," -quoth he,-
"'Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!"

The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said- "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!"

The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Then, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
"I see," -quoth he,- "the Elephant
Is very like a rope!"

And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!

MORAL,
So, oft in theologic wars
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean;
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!

Hi,

the allegory of the cave: the fire, an apple, the apple's shadow on the wall, the chained observer.

The shadow on the wall is that Connection_over_1 which becomes the "apple" for the chained observer.

That works for the tangibles but also for the intangibles (things which one cannot touch, see, taste, ...)
Tangible and intangible things are cut from the same cloth. They are thoughts.

"Colourless green ideas sleep furiously" is in no way different from the chair in the room.
There is consistency.

===

One could compare with
...
For example "This 'a' is 'b'" (e.g. "This 'object a' is 'red'") really means "'object a' is a sense-datum" and "'red' is a sense-datum", and they "stand in relation" to one another and in relation to "I". Thus what we really mean is: "I perceive that 'This object a is red'" and this is an undeniable-by-3rd-party "truth".

PM further defines a distinction between a "sense-datum" and a "sensation":

That is, when we judge (say) "this is red", what occurs is a relation of three terms, the mind, and "this", and "red". On the other hand, when we perceive "the redness of this", there is a relation of two terms, namely the mind and the complex object "the redness of this" (pp. 43–44).
...

Bertrand Russell and Principia Mathematica, at the end of line 8

===

Apple is'.

sight: Apple red'.

touch: Apple hard'.

taste: Apple sweet'.

Red', hard', sweet' and is' are Connection_over_1 (State/Quality, 0-d space, Space is Thing).
Red', hard', sweet' are equivalent to is'.

Bertrand (observer, Observer is Thing)

E (event, Equivalence, Equivalence is Thing)

red' (State/Quality, 0-d space, Space is Thing)

event: Bertrand - E - red'

true' (State/Quality, 0-d space, Space is Thing)


E true'. (E is Thing)

Instrumental case bothered me from late 1981 to October 2019.

Two things, the 1st and the 2nd, exist together. The connection which binds them is is", which later received its full name non_Genitive_is".

The 2nd takes an Instrumental case ending or another case's ending or no ending at all.

The 2nd thing can be:

(a) the image of the 1st as in John (1st) - driver (2nd);

(b) the image of the action (the verb);

(c) the instrument;

(d) time;

(e) place.

===

Latin's Case System

===

Genitive - Instrumental, have - be, of - with are suspicious pairs.

Observer (event) - Speaker (sentence). They are similar.

The speaker should be incorporated in the structure of the simple sentence.

Then Grammatical mood should be the State/Quality of the speaker/observer (observer is a thing).

But i found Nothing.

e.g. - [ yzarc ] is a collection of random alphabets which could likely explain what Meaninglessness or Uselessness depicts.

But at that very moment, as i use
 " yzarc " as an Example, it becomes Meaningful & Useful.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTORY

...

Language is nothing but a set of human habits, the purpose of which is to give
expression to thoughts and feelings, and especially to impart them to others. As with
other habits it is not to be expected that they should be perfectly consistent. No one can
speak exactly as everybody else or speak exactly in the same way under all circumstances
and at all moments, hence a good deal of vacillation here and there.
