Figure 6.4: Building many elements simultaneously
Figure 6.4 shows how the COBUILD: command might be used. It shows two assignments being made, which include quantities which we assume to be elements constructed beforehand or components. The INDEX: commands set the range of indices to be and . Finally, the COBUILD: command constructs simultaneously the elements , taking into account any explicitly defined beliefs about existing elements, and functionally defined beliefs expressed for components and between elements and components. A second example is shown in Figure 6.5.
