Since some French pronouns already end with s (nous, vous, ils/elles) I suggest we
add sh instead of a plain s. So in French we could have:
Jesh
Tush
Ilsh/Ellesh
Noush
Voush
Ilssh/Ellessh

We can do the same to English: It'll be easier to pronounce...maybe.
Ish (Eyesh)
Thoush
Hesh/Shesh
Wesh
Yoush
Theysh

Correction using "sh"

Then plenal nouns could end with sh as in:

Americansh discovered Europe in 1492

Could be that the semantics is related to Kripke's logic.... In which case, I've
just invented Kripkish. Kripkish is certainly more fun than the strange looking
characters you were writing like []p -> <>p

Ish am Napoleon. Yoush are Napoleon too!

As an observer performs an observation, there is a gradual loss of degree of
freedom as this observation changes from a third person observation to a first
person observation....It is due to the increase coupling between the frame of
reference of the observer and of the observed object.

I don't understand Schmidhuberian prior and the relative complexity.

Oops! You are right.

Homogenized - no lumps - like milk? You mean past and future are. unprivileged.
They are just points with equal satus in the plenitude. Measure is homogenized
too? In fact I agree with this in a relativistic fashion..... As I said long ago,
I think that measure of self is always the same as observed by the self,
independently of the observer's frame of reference. .. just like the speed of
light.
