In my principles (or other theory), the degree of ambuigity varies from formal to ordinary language.

Example of a formal formula:   dF =? 0
where F is 'fighting liberties' and the formula applies to what I call 'class 1 semeais'.

Example of (seemingly) ordinary language in a principle about defending life in a fight: "Maintain connection of a group's important strings." This is not ordinary language though but I use 'connection' and 'important string' as consistent terms in all my books, where the former is defined but the latter is (still) undefined.

Consistent use of the same terms and defined concepts everywhere and well chosen definitions for the basic terms remove much of the mess and enable hierarchic design and use of principles etc.

For several hundred further examples of definitions and principles, see my books and papers. For my first six of 11 books and earlier papers / messages, see the short overview http://home.snafu.de/jasiek/RobertJasiekGoTheoryResearch.html
