Tentative decision: Remove domain and range.
Deferring final decision for a larger group.
DECISION:
Deferring until we know whether the next release will be a major one or not. Please refrain from submitting a PR until this has been determined.
Completely agree the domain and range should be removed and I also like the proposed definition "the object is necessary to the subject".
@uscholdm I'd like to get your input on this one. The current definition, with domain gist:Intention
and range gist:Behavior
is "An intention that sets out a state of satisfaction (you are required to drive on right side of the road)." Now that we are removing the domain and range constraints, I'm not sure how we should define this predicate, because the word has more than one meaning in English. I see at least two broad buckets:
Maybe you can think of others.
Should a single predicate encompass both these meanings? If so, what is a good definition that covers both, other than "... or ..."?
Current domain: Intention Current range: Behavior Definition: An intention that sets out a state of satisfaction (you are required to drive on right side of the road)
We may want to say "Plants require good soil and rain to grow." The plant itself does not have an intention, though we might have an intention for the plant. Or maybe the subject of requires here is growth, but this too doesn't have an intention.
The Cambridge Dictionary defines several meanings for required:
gist:requires encompasses only definitions 2 and 3.
