And then what happens is

one says "yes but this has been derived once and for all from Set Theory and Relanguaging Calculus, changing bulbs is an implementation issue so we don't care".

3 to say "Me too" (errh whatever he said)

1 asks "Is a bulb structured or is it a simple object"? Is one structured bulb allowed in a socket just like Date?

999 Say it must be normalized into neutrinos and quarks then it must be joined again, then it can be inserted in the socket.

8 say as long as you only plug "one" object in it doesn't matter if it has structure or not, remember Date?

907 to say "hay the term 'object' is too confusing, a clearer way to say it is "simple domain value", erh we mean "atomic", arh we mean "single value", oh we mean "single instance of a type".

7 to say what's the difference between a "single instance of a type" and an "object"?

1 says IDJIT you are a self-agrandizing arrogant, you know nothing!

In Relanguaging Calculus we clearly see that "a single instance of a type is an object", unlike those OO idiots where they say "a single instance of a type is an object"!

The difference can only be understood if and only if your theory is firmly built on Relanguaging Algebra.

1 says "Nevermind that, I've just inherited a special sub-bulb from my grandma, can I plug that into the socket?"

2 say Sub-bulbs are in "The Third Socket Manifestation", so if the socket shape is the same then why not plug the sub-bulb in? Remember the example of Date? Structured bulb objects and even sub-bulbs are allowed. Received on Sat May 06 2006 - 09:31:37 CEST
