Summary

Argues that Lojban++, a minor variation on the predicate-logic-based constructed language Lojban, is well suited as a syntactically-unambiguous, semantically-controllable interlingua for communication between humans and early-stage AGI systems — occupying a middle ground between formal/programming languages and natural language. It describes and proposes supporting software tools for its deployment.

Relevance to Hyperon

A controlled/constructed-language interlingua source for human–AGI communication, relevant to the NL-to-formal-structure and controlled-language themes of the Semantic Parsing Deep Dive. (Card named “Lojban Plus Plus” because “+” is reserved in Decko card names; the canonical “Lojban++” title is preserved in the body and +display_title.)
