This is one of the main concepts / problems of AI, is it not? Removing the ambiguity from our language in order to understand it. So you could remove it on the KR side, but you would still need to convert the regular language into the KR language, unless you would propose to have all inputs and
I continue to maintain that:
* syntactic ambiguity is unnecessary in a language of thought or communication
* some level of semantic ambiguity is unavoidable and in fact essential...

I'm wondering if something more is needed to handle the various
subtypes of context?
yeah, those link types just deal with certain special situations, they are
not the whole of Novamente's contextuality-handling mechanism,
