I wonder if it's possible to design a new formal language (something like lojban [1], with a grammar strictly based on formal logic) but with better UX so that it can be used by regular folks like me? Maybe combine something like Attempto [2] with a dedicated visual UI?

I would think a language like that could speed up knowledge base construction. Maybe it can also serve as a substitute for natural languages in some situations where we want our communication to be logically airtight.

On a separate note, I've always wondered how Cyc is pronounced. Is it "sike", or is it "see-why-see"?

>>kappas+(OP)
I've always imagined it was supposed to be pronounced like 'psych', and that it was a corporate bullshit, marketing spelling, of that word.

The etymology is from 'enCYClopedia'.

>>kappas+(OP)
I pronounce it like "tsits", because "cyc" in Polish means "tit" (the organ, not the bird), and it feels good.

I see, thanks.
