It's certainly a challenge. Clearly the language spoken today is not entirely the same language spoken a few hundred years ago. The meaning and intent behind a word written a century or two earlier has the ability to morph and change. So, that is to say if it's indeed possible to truly make a communication system that is entirely unambiguous and only as complex as is necessary for it to achieve its goal, I do not know. Even if it is not provably possible however, that should not remove the intent to aim towards that. Especially with regards to legislation or law writing. I can't recall the source but I think with programming there is an aphorism along the lines that just about every program can be shorter and it is not without bugs. It seems to be something similar is applicable for laws. Aside, I'll have to look into lojban as I am unfamiliar with it. It looks interesting though. |
