If you mean by this that <na kamkuspe> is not the same as <kamkantu>, then
I will agree with you. Since discrete logics are a subset of fuzzy logic,
this is consistent with my use of these lojban terms for "fuzzy" &
"Zoroastrian", respectively.

This sounds fine to me. I don't think we need to bog ourselves down with
Pauli exclusion principles, etc., as there is no reason to think that these
other properties of quantum physics will necessarily apply to other
quantized things.
