This defines a template for all of the cultural gismu, as well as {rutni}.

TODO: this implies xamgu1 are events! A longstanding puzzle solved!
Expand All @@ -31,29 +47,38 @@ It should include the cultural gismu. It should also be in the upcoming
"multiverse" feature, using a multiverse, because the baseline definitions
should be culturally neutral.

There could further be a class for tutra1:
What's the difference between {jecta} and {se tutra}? {jecta} doesn't imply
{turni}; a government is a sort of organized group of people (a {stura}
perhaps?) which claim to be {turni}, but turni1 are the violence-monopolists
who physically occupy and oppress their subjects.

tutra1: territories
tutra2: ???
However, {kulnu}'s definition requires kulnu2 to be plural masses. The English
says, "culture is what is shared among people and is not an individual trait,"
but this is a misunderstanding of relational logic. Logically, {kulnu} relates
a set of people -- a subset of all kulnu2 -- to individual cultures in a
many-to-many relationship. So, we're going to politely say that the baseline
definition is misleading, and allow both rutni2 and kulnu2 to be individuals.

natmi1: nations
natmi2: kulnu2
This class also implies that cultures, e.g. {merko}, should be conjugated
instead of filled directly by individual people. Instead of {mi merko},
perhaps we should say {mi jai merko} for short. Putting the above classes to
work, we might formally say:

jecta1: governments
jecta2: tutra1

gugde1: countries
gugde2: kulnu2
gugde3: tutra1
mi se kulnu pa ka merko

## Axioms

Perhaps kulnu2 => cecmu2?
We should be able to define {turni} with something like:

da turni de <=> su'o gy ty zo'u: ty tutra da gi'e te gugde de gy

What's the difference between {jecta} and {se tutra}?
Why is {rutni} here? Its definition specifies that rutni2 are kulnu2, from
which we may claim the following axiom:

da rutni de => su'o di kulnu de

Perhaps kulnu2 => cecmu2?
