Formally, "len" is an alias, a nickname, so the source of authority is not the bullards, it is my mother who called me that as an endearment, and I by assent, adopted it into my signature for reasons totally unrelated to my mother's use: I dislike the sound of a Southern pronunciation of "Claude", my so-called given name on the registration of birth. So the meaning changed based on the source. We are quibbling notation. If the authority assigns the name, they make the assertion behaviorally. It is meaningless until used but the presence of the name is the record of authoritative assertion. Rats! We are becoming lawyers. len From: John Cowan [mailto:jcowan@r...] "Bullard, Claude L (Len)" scripsit: > The name inside the name documents the authority. > I have to accept it as being asserted. I don't > have to accept what it asserts. The URI agreement > is the systemic agreement of the former. The latter > is accepted or negotiated. I don't understand this. Names don't *assert* anything at all: they are nouns, not verbs. But URI names aren't totally meaningless, any more than "len bullard" is totally meaningless: it notes the source of authority for the name, viz. the bullards.
