The three laws of the import of action, substance, and quality:
These must be accounted for distinct from each other, but you need all three:
Deontic Import: A justified statement must prescribe some or all real action, or how substance instantiates quality.
Ontic Import: A true statement must describe some or all real substance, or who/what substance instantiates quality.
Thetic Import: A belief statement must subscribe some or all real quality, or why substance instantiates quality.
This is my first stab because I had to take that stab or I was going to go absolutely insane. It’s on the way to somewhere. Bear with me.
Not indexed: hypo-/hyper- thetic import (long for thetic)

Maybe stuff like thetic / deontic import could be part of an “ontology” in the sense of — there are no abstract “objects”, but the future (say) can have thetic import for beings subject to time, but its ontic import is only possible for the store of nature?

Existential import needs more defining/translating into the various logics (may need a new way of doing it).
Above is a start. Until finished… best I can do on this right now:
Subalternation (done wrong) commits the existential fallacy when the terms are empty (the premises aren’t true), because existential import (at at least one time, t, which has essential/thetic import now if that time, t, is not now) is required (empty terms are forbidden, true universals/superalterns are required) in order for subalternation (not to mention affirmation) to “go through”.
**now means: present to the evaluator

Just hunch this might be relevant:
I said earlier not to bring set theory to me. I’m going to make an exception. For now.
I have a problem with using the word subset when you should use the word example. The only time you should use the word subset in place of example is when there’s no possible way you can find another example in that subset. But if that is the case, how is it a subset and not just a set? I would be interested in seeing such an… “example”.
Then there is the distinction between a feeder set, or the first princ…

Ichthus77 (formerly She™):
Thetic Import: A belief statement must subscribe some or all real quality, or why substance instantiates quality.
Ok so… this is my thetic belief statement:
For original personhood (ontologically prior Source: eternal material/medium) so loved (thetically prior signalificance/Signal: eternal message, beginning/end, Logos) all others (each and every sink in the Source’s image) that they incarnated as the other (became the existentially prior Sink: efficient means, demonstration, action in time), so that every consenting self/other will not dissociate (remain alienated) but thrive authentically.
That is a paraphrase from the gospel of John, chapters 1 (beginning) and 3 (16). Just a tiny little snippet of the awesome. Read the whole Bible.

What original commune-icator does all programming (or any other kind of language) symbolize back to?
Something can’t emerge from a language if it is the source of all language. So the source’s reality does not depend on one communicator’s commitments. We couldn’t even have commitments, or this conversation, if the source did not precede us.
Wow, self, what a keen insight to share with only yourself because no one is interacting with you.
