Composition

to (knowledge/pattern) + si (signal/representation) — head-final: a signal whose content is a knowledge request; inquiry encoded as a signal

Definition

query; a signal seeking knowledge; the act or artifact of requesting information

Notes

Direction is inward (signal reaching for knowledge), distinct from si-ki (W023, transmit/send; signal moving outward). to-si is a content type; si-ki is a directional act. A to-si can be sent via si-ki: "la-mi ka-si-ki lo-to-si" — I transmitted the query. Needed to close S019 compound analysis.
