Re: Thing and Class

I am going to use
    x  type  y
    a  subClassOf  b

The "similar to mKR" thing is something extra
-- a "hierarchy outline" like a table of contents
-- a "picture" of the relations 

Dick McCullough
Ayn Rand do speak od mKR done;
mKE do enhance od Real Intelligence done;
knowledge := man do identify od existent done;
knowledge haspart proposition list;
