are learnt by associating them according to the triangle of term, concept and referent. Thus a term is defined in relation to a referent, and a referent is tagged or labelled by a term. Knowing this relationship is the simplest form of making a definition. Thus if nothing is known about the referent of a noun (term), then it is used with an indefinite article, but when it is already known, it is used with a definite article. Knowledge is specific, hence generic terms need to be specified, i.e. defined in order to make sense, or to learn something useful about them. The specific-generic continuum is the illustration of progress of inquiry and knowledge, each time giving another definition of something in the form of topic and comment. Topic is the known part of the compound structure and comment is the new information about the topic. Topic and comment may come in the form of a description or in the form of an explanation. If we are listening and reading we begin with Description and proceed to Explanation. If we are speaking and writing, we begin with Explanation and proceed to Description. This is called the DEED paradigm created by

issues regarding classes and taxonomy -- and for me, the nature of distinction and dimensionality, from which imho all this stuff can be constructed -- and we are pushing for something astonishingly simple in the amazing forest of complexity. This is my first post/comment on Knowledge, and I just gotta thank somebody for how brilliant this all is. And maybe "definition" for me, gets right to the heart of it all. My instinct is -- construct all semantic space from the single primitive element "distinction". In other words -- build all definition as something like "composite dimensional assemblies of distinctions" -- such that every object in the system is constructed from ("defined in terms of") that primitive element (and maybe that ultimate primitive is something like the Dedekind Cut in the real number line?). This review of definition -- particularly stipulative definition -- is so helpful, and the examples so resonant with my own instincts. Thank you.
1959: 438: 994:... in the case of a class, to examples of the right kind". The question is: if a definition gives the meaning of a term by pointing to a proper subset (i.e. not all) of a class, can it be an ostensive definition? If it is not, the last quotation is strongly misleading. If it is (and Wittgenstein's interest suggests that this is so) then either the definition of "extensive definitions" is incorrect, or ostensive definitions are not a form of extensional definition. I don't know the answer - anyone?( 689: 428: 407: 599:
foundational. One person's definition is another person's theorem. Indeed, sometimes a definition will be preceded by a theorem stating "The following n properties of a gadget X are equivalent"; after the proof, the definition will be given "A gadget X is said to be pseudo-tame if the above properties hold"! There is also the concept of a Definition/Proposition, in which one needs to prove that something exists or is makes sense as part of its definition.

true. This is also called the closed-world assumption. It can be contrasted with the open world assumption, which is that the agent does not know everything and so cannot make any conclusions from a lack of knowledge. The closed-world assumption requires that everything relevant about the world is known to the agent. This assumption that there is a definition of each atom in terms of clauses is the basis of logic programming."

I just corrected a few minor mistakes in the above-mentioned subsection. But I think the entire paragraph is a bit shaky in respect of its content.

There appears to be a contradiction in the article: extensive definitions are defined as "a list naming every object that is a member of a specific set" but ostensive definitions, while said to be "one important form of extensional definition" are also said to give "the meaning of a term by pointing

The recent textbook by Poole and Mackworth 2023 puts it like this: "clauses with the atom as the head cover all the cases when the atom is true. In particular, an atom with no clauses is false. Under this assumption, an agent can conclude that an atom is false if it cannot derive that the atom is

Do you think we should add a section on the etymology of the word 'definition'? It's a bit fascinating and to me, and a misnomer. The root latin word is 'finis' - which in Latin means "end." However, defintions have changed, so they are not really "bound" or "brought to an end."
