Some questions we ask do not extend betwen objects
when B is subset of A
we think that properties of A extend to B
the subset may not have a properties object
thus
if is
word kjhlkjhlkj
we should find the I (information)
Then analyze I structure
i dont think they thinking of I structure
they dont know what is I and NEW
and what is SOMETHING
and think in ERROR logic (loz ku)
:)

the I structure is a N dimentional web
in the Xject universe.

This requirement, i.e.,
to consciously ignore
etymological information

when coding ??

a mix of well-known and
lesser-known languages, is
probably the most difficult and subjective step in the entire
analysis.


The necessary decisions
may be checked using a negative control.

In this example, a negative
control might be the text in
a language such as Basque which is

effectively unrelated to any of the

$effectively

languages under
consideration.

The negative control would be aligned and coded blindly
along with the other
languages, and the number of identical codings between unrelated
language pairs would give an
