I don't think discussions about how reporting is done are off topic. It does make a difference whether you pick a condescending term to describe the six grown up, educated, female scientists.
I'd think it would be difficult to make an abstracted meta-language out of human languages. There's lots of grammatical issues which would be particularly difficult to deal with well.
For example, in the case of inflected languages, how do you get the declensional case information into the metalanguage? In many languages, there are grammatical cases have overlapping declensions, so there's ambiguity about what would be intended with meaning. And mapping between languages would be really tough.
Verbs would be really tough. Like in Russian, you have three tenses (past, present, and future) as well as two verb aspects. So you have pairs of verbs, one expressing action that occurs once, the other expressing habitual activity.
Sounds like the project would be lots of fun to work on, though. It's a really neat idea, linguistically.
I think patents exist for another reason: to allow people to make money.
People would still invent and improve technology without the protections provided by patent law. Open source development is a good example. Patents exist to allow companies to license stuff to other companies, to sue people who don't license stuff or produce products that are similar to theirs.
There's no reason to patent anything unless it means you can make money exclusively off it. Would anyone really care about owning the logical rights to anything if it didn't mean cash in a real and direct way?
I've read (where I forget) that rocket launches release a lot of atmospheric pollutants. I don't remember if it destroys the ozone layer, or causes global warming. Of course, generating electricity isn't a pollution free process either.
There's rampant worry about the ability of MS to produce a working 64-bit windows, and while the IA32 has served intell well for some time, the wave of the future is 64 bit. The best way to ensure the availability of working OSes is to fund their production.
Plus, there's that all-your-eggs-in-one-basket thing.

duh.
Maybe the DEA and the IEA could be a single agency, then we could put tax dollars behind a half-baked IDEA.
Philosophy of Symbolic Forms. I think you mean volume 1. Is here where I remark on my dislike for the deification of Chomsky and his theories?

I believe these cannons used conventional explosives for propellants.

And after millions of years of evolution, many of us still have monkey brains. Jackass.
