Do you have an inclusive OR as well as an exlusive OR, i.e. a marker for (A AND B) OR (A OR B) I imagine it's a sememe found more often than some people would realise. For instance, in Do you have a lighter, or some matches? the answer would not be expected to be "No" if I had both a lighter and matches. There are other logical conjunctions which could potentially be useful, I imagine especially so in magical texts, which I rather suspect could become quite algorithmic in nature, given the right system of magic. Also, I'd recommend more, simpler examples. There's a lot of information to take in at once there. Also also, you could find yourself boxed into a corner if you didn't think out in advance very carefully what you wanted to write. That's a potential criticism of every 2D writing system with branching, though, so don't take it personally. Paul
