[118]

Hi Tuukka,
Well put.  MoQ offers a paradigm from which the participant can structure meaning to his personal relationship with reality.

Sent laboriously from an iPhone,

The worst case scenario for using such predicates is that any statement, whose truth value is contingent with regards to the truth value of a nonrelativizably used predicate, is equivalent to a contradiction.
