genus - kornai/4lang GitHub Wiki

4lang definitions originally don't have a semantic type or genus, defining clauses are disjunctive, but as soon as we want to replace concepts with their defining graphs, we need a node in the later which is a semantic head. Now Marci is modifying definitions such that the fist cluse is such a head. This page contains comments on this work.
