Hi Marchal,

This is a reply to your last two posts. I hope other everythingers beside
myself are attempting to follow this adventure in logic. It appears to be
really worth the effort. Please feel free to contribute to this exchange.

I do not think you defined euclidian.... There is obviously a connection
to geometry but I dn't see it.

I guess we have to visit the whole Louvre to get to the Mona Lisa :-). Any
short cut?

Thank you for outlining a itinirary for our journey into logic.... I
thought our destination was much closer.. Does it have to be that
complicated? Thanks for the effort.
