<div style="white-space: pre-wrap">&gt; Xorxes once proposed a system of duplicating all predicates with
&gt; one with intensional place â€“ or without where there was one. That
&gt; plan failed, as I recall, 

What?! It never crossed my mind to actually use those predicates.
Good thing that the plan failed, then. They were presented in 
jboske to show, among other stuff, that what had been perpetrated
upon poor {sisku} could be done to any place of any other 
predicate. And it wouldn't involve just duplication, but 
exponentiation: klama for example, with 5 places, would have 
32 versions, the most changed one with all five places altered:

"Something with property x1 goes to place with property x2 
from place with property x3 via route with property x4 by 
means with property x5."

<div style="white-space: pre-wrap">Happily, that is not quite the shift I am suggesting; even {sisku} needs some rewriting.
