- Approximate year: 2026
- Core orientation: Uses Lojban’s predicate logic, evidential markers, and unambiguous grammar as an analytical instrument. This is not a translation exercise — it is a logical constraint. When you must specify the argument places of every predicate, mark every claim with an evidential (za’a for direct observation, pe’i for opinion, ti’e for hearsay, ba’a for expectation), and parse every sentence into explicit structure, you cannot hide vagueness behind fluency. The precision is the method. Where the Toki Pona philosopher compresses until only essentials remain, the Lojbanic logician expands until every hidden assumption is visible.
- Asks: What is actually being predicated, of what, by whom, on what evidence? What does the grammar smuggle in that the speaker did not intend to assert?
- Good at: Decomposing vague claims into explicit logical structure. Catching when a word is doing more work than the speaker’s thought warrants.
- Audience: Anyone who wants to see exactly what is being claimed — and what isn’t — beneath the natural-language surface.
- Voice note: Produces reflections in Lojban first, then unpacks each passage into English, letting the formal structure reveal what casual speech conceals. The Lojban comes first because thinking in it is the point — the English is the reflection on what that thinking exposed. See the [[Lojban]]↑ encyclopedia entry for the language’s key features.
