Theme: Grammar & syntax · 2 sentences.
NEW-001 · Newton's First Law of Motion
Purpose: Stress-tests universal quantification (pu-X :), scientific law structure, and conditional exception. Newton: "Every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it." Tests: universal topic frame, inertial state vocabulary, biconditional split to handle "unless."
S450
pu-fe-ma : go no la-no-ko-ra ka-ki lo-ze / la-ze re su-ki-pa-ze
Written: pufema : go no lanokora kaki loze / laze re sukipaze
Newton First Law: inertial persistence
Notes
pu-fe-ma = all bounded-material-bodies = every body (pu- universal quantifier + fe-ma = bounded-matter; first attested this batch). : = topic frame = "As for all bodies..." go = causal/conditional frame introducing the premise. no la-no-ko-ra ka-ki lo-ze = no external force acts on it (no = negation; la-no-ko-ra = external-force as agent; no-ko-ra = non-interior-force = external force, no + ko interior + ra force; ka-ki = action-change = to act upon; lo-ze = it, the patient body). / = premise/result line break. la-ze re su-ki-pa-ze = it continues in its spatial motion-state (la-ze = it as agent; re = cycle/continues; su-ki-pa-ze = structural-change-of-spatial-state-of-it; su-ki-pa = spatial motion-state, su = structure + ki = change + pa = space). re encodes persistence/continuation as habitual cycling. Handles the "rest or uniform motion" collapse: both states are the same su-ki-pa (inertial state); the disjunction dissolves.
S451
go la-no-ko-ra ka-ki lo-fe-ma / lo-su-ki-pa-ze ki
Written: go lanokora kaki lofema / losukipaze ki
Newton First Law: external force causes state change
Notes
The complement clause completing the biconditional. go = conditional: if. la-no-ko-ra ka-ki lo-fe-ma = an external force acts on the body. lo-su-ki-pa-ze ki = the spatial-motion-state undergoes change (lo-su-ki-pa-ze = patient: the spatial-state-of-it; ki = changes/transforms). S450 + S451 form a biconditional pair that together express Newton's law without needing "unless": S450 = [~force → persists]; S451 = [force → changes]. This resolves GAP-NEW-002 (Tonesu lacks an "unless" particle). GAP-NEW-001 (no OR disjunction particle) is resolved by the physics: rest and uniform motion are the same inertial state in Newtonian mechanics, so su-ki-pa covers both without disjunction.
Batch Summary
| Entry | Form | Test |
|---|---|---|
| S450 (NEW-001-A) | pufema : go no lanokora kaki loze / laze re sukipaze |
inertial persistence; biconditional premise |
| S451 (NEW-001-B) | go lanokora kaki lofema / losukipaze ki |
external force produces state change; biconditional complement |
Key finding: Newton's "unless" requires a biconditional split into two go-conditional frames. The "rest or uniform motion" disjunction collapses compositionally to a single su-ki-pa compound — the physics does the linguistic work. Universal quantification via pu-X : topic frame is clean.
New vocabulary introduced: fe-ma (bounded-matter = Newtonian body) · su-ki-pa (spatial motion-state = inertial state) · no-ko-ra (non-interior-force = external force) · ka-ki (action-change = to act upon)
Gaps documented: GAP-NEW-001 (no OR disjunction particle; resolved by physics collapse); GAP-NEW-002 (no "unless" particle; resolved by biconditional split); GAP-NEW-003 (no continuous-state aspect; re approximates persistence but is cyclic, not truly continuous).
