I think he just was using shorthand for "s expression".
Looking over the web page you linked to, it seems like your approach is
basically that building an AGI (at least an AGI of the type you are
pursuing) is at its heart a large software engineering task not much
different from other large software engineering tasks. So you're building a
language that you believe will help you with that engineering task. Anybody
who has written software for a long time has opinions about what works best
for developing large software projects, and there's nothing wrong with you
embodying your ideas on that subject in your language.
Issues like indentation, punctuation, and so on are clearly not central to
AGI as an endeavor, but one intriguing aspect of your project is the focus
on self-modifying code. Any information you'd like to share about how your
language constructs make on the fly code generation elegant and natural
would be very interesting.
