​I'll tell you what John Clark didn't forget, what Bruno Marchal just said "​ "I" designates the M guy experience in Moscow, and the W experience of the W-guy in W​" and if that's true then the personal pronoun "I" is ambiguous with no ifs ands or buts about it. ​And that ambiguity is the one and only reason Bruno Marchal persists in using personal pronouns despite numerous requests to stop. Ambiguous language is a friend of sloppy thinking.

Already answered. See older posts for a version of this without any pronouns. See the math parts of a general algorithm to eliminate all the use of pronouns.

John Clark thinks "you" will survive two and non-unique with a probability one, ​ ​but if Bruno Marchal is right and John Clark is wrong then which ONE unique thing is it, Moscow or Washington? ​

Answered already. Even in the preceding posts.

Bruno




If Bruno Marchal doesn't have a one word answer to this question and can only come up with a paragraph full of peepee and views and FPIs then the personal pronoun "I" is ambiguous.

it can only be one 1-1 I in one city.

​No idea what a "1-1 I" is and very much doubt it is worth knowing.
