“Statements or statement-like objects”

Our mission statement refers to “statement-like objects”. In order to
dispel any lingering mystery, I’ll talk about that in this post.

I phrase it that way so that we don’t commit prematurely to a
representation. A mission statement would be too early to decide that. Nevertheless, they are constrained to be statement-like and connected so that our concept of argument isn’t too anything-goes. I think that’s the right balance.

Statement-like objects could conceivably include, for instance:

  • Formulas that represent statements but arguably are not actually statements.
  • MECE sets of statements, should we choose to treat them as single objects.
