- I think it would be safer to start with the
- bare bones minimum of:
-
- "Not Currently in a Contractual Arrangement with
- another Person, such as is exclusionary of other

- Like yourself, I am divorced, and hence no longer in
- a contractual arrangement, as stipulated above. Hence
- I am 'single' - I am in a Protracted arrangment with
- a ProblemOlderWoman, But until she finishes the
- preliminary readings, including, but not limited to
- Hofstatder's GEB, we are not in a position to discuss
- the nature of Completeness or Closure.

- So I would prefer to refer to myself as being single

- future epistemological clarification of such semantically
- evaluable strings as will clarify the nature of the
- ongoing arrangement, as may be subsequently supported
- within the clearly defined and defendable ethics, as is
- consistent with the Available Ontology.
