Re: Maximally constrained



John,
 
Unfortunately, I don't think I can rephrase this adequately in other terminology at the moment. Maybe when I get more time, but I am reluctant to try to rephrase it all without losing the technical meanings.
 
Regards,
Tim

Tim,
is there a way to say in human words what you are talking about? English is just as good, or Volapuk, I don't care, but I have no idea what homousion-homoiusion discussion you continue here.
Without understanding the words, the equality of maximum to minimum is amusing, the whole text is entertaining to read. I gave up to follow it topically.
Reminds me Cohen-Stewart's Zarathustran aliens in the Figments of Reality with their octimality talk.
 
Seriously: I think you submerged here into the finest ways of reductionistic gobbledygook in model-characteristics of models of models. Modellistically speaking.
 
To Judith's earlier post: maximal/maximum  comes from maximus/a/um, the superlative of magnus/a/um (large) adjective, which stands for the rulewise proper - but eliminated - form magnissimus/a/um. All in good kitchen Latin, the originator of 30% of the Englich language.
