Room:

Should we abolish 'questions' and replace them with 'topics' or 'issues'?

It is really hard to frame a question well anyway, and in any case the focus may shift as the debate goes on, and the original framing may need to be reframed.

So, shall we rename 'questions' to 'topic of discussion' or something like that?

Alternative proposals, that emerged from last endorsing round

The different proposals do not represent the best proposals, nor the more popular. Strictly speaking they are the pareto front of the set of proposals. You can think of it as the smallest set of proposals such that every participant is represented.

Proposal

This question is closed.
A new question, an open question, was posed: What should be the semantics of Vilfredo?, that should include this question as part of it.
The question was presented is in the room "Vilfredo".

Generation 4: Phase: Writing New Proposals

What should you do now? Write new proposals. How? You can insert brand new ideas; rewrite previous ideas (maybe trying to explain them better); recover old ideas from the history of the question; try to write a proposal that represent an acceptable compromise between different winning proposals. If you do this well, the new proposal will be endorsed by both the proponent of the first and of the second proposal, and you will have effectively joined those proposals.

Number of authors of new proposals: 0

Number of proposals written so far: 1

Propose an answer

Note: Proposals can be of any length and may include an abstract of up to 500 characters in length if you wish. When proposals are listed at the voting stage the abstract will be displayed if one exists, otherwise the full proposal will be displayed. For proposals longer than 1000 characters the abstract is mandatory.

Time since first proposal on this generation: 250 days, 21 hours and 23 minutes.
NOTE: 1 days must have passed between the first proposal and the moment when the questioner can move the question on.
