It's true is_reflexive seems redundant here, because a reflexive action can be represented by setting the agent and patient to the same, but this additional property may be an artifact introduced by language, namely the reflexive prefix like "self-". | It's true is_reflexive seems redundant here, because a reflexive action can be represented by setting the agent and patient to the same, but this additional property may be an artifact introduced by language, namely the reflexive prefix like "self-". | ||

When viewing a flow chart, the nodes (intersections) are most important. With a map, I see intersections rather than roads and alleys. This is useful in many ways, because interesting places are often found at intersections, and I could better memorize roads which do not allow pedestrians to cross. Sometimes this impedes learning, as focusing on nodes can make me lose sight of shapes. | When viewing a flow chart, the nodes (intersections) are most important.

It's hard to determine how exactly so, though these words have a different "feel" to neutral nouns. I believe they are encoded to be both more intuitive and more precise, as opposed to intuitive but fuzzy words like "happy" and "sad", or precise but abstract words like "ontology" or "cyclohexane". | ||

All of my conlangs can be said to have two word classes. Even if I know many attributes of things exist on a sliding scale, I still see black and white, artificial and natural, dense and light, hard and soft, and other opposition pairs. In Hwnic, this system is modernized to contain a "somewhere in between" and a "does not apply". | All of my conlangs can be said to have two word classes.

[[Hwnic]] is named after the "window handle" type HWND in WinAPI. (It is not related to HWN Energy acquisitions, printer models, or the surname Hwang.) It is thought to have a precise structure like a programming language, as it arose out of a desire to limit the chaos/ambiguity aspect of my thinking. However, this is not upheld at all times now. | [[Hwnic]] is named after the "window handle" type HWND in WinAPI. (It is not related to HWN Energy acquisitions, printer models, or the surname Hwang.)
