Beste Sandy,

The language I'm translating into is Lojban ( http://lojban.org ).

Very interesting!



Please tell me which kind of logics Lojban is based on. Classical two-valued
logics or fuzzy logic? Considering the inherent vagueness of words (what
does "cold" mean?), I would expect the fuzzy variant. Given the age of (its
ancestor) Loglan however, I guess the theoretical framework predates the
birth of fuzzy logic.



Do you think that, quantum entanglement for instance, could be better
explained in Lojban terms than in English?



Kind greetings,
