Adjective Order Recapitulates Learning Order

The more I think about adjective order in terms of different "layers" of topics learned at different times during childhood development and language acquisition, the more it makes sense. For example with the "Lying Old Man" versus "Old Lying Man" there can be no doubt that these have different meanings. And that one of them ("Lying Old Man") is more natural. 

I propose this is simply because we learned the concept of "Old" before we learned the concept of "Liar". We learned the word "Liar" in a world that already had the "Old" concept. The linguistic principle we draw from this is that we speak in the same order as we learned. Or Adjective Order recapitulates Learning Order.

Reparations

At this point, I am thinking the US and Israel should compensate victims of the Palestinian genocide by giving them a piece of land in Somalia.

The long and the short of De Morgan's Laws

Well you have two mechanisms, one for selecting from a temp collection, and the rules of "not" that take  the complement within a temp collection. But this is not sets of elements, but temp collections of labels of individual narratives.

De Morgan's Law, aside from its use of the law of the excluded middle, devolves to the observation that "A or B" encompasses a full row and full column of the table. Leaving a single square as its complement.

Aside from that, negating "A or B" gives the complement: A*, B*.

Update: What is most puzzling is the transition from "A or B" to the four "cases". What is that?
