Three Dimensional Tables |
If we want to apply Anglish plurals to similar together problems simultaneously, we might produce a common table and program as below:
------------------------------- | | rate | time |effort| ------------------------------- | Bill | bi | 5 | 1 | ------------------------------- | Sue | s | st | 1 | ------------------------------- |Bill&Sue| B&S | 2 | 1 | ------------------------------- | Ben | be | 5 | 1 | ------------------------------- | Marge | m | mt | 1 | ------------------------------- |Ben&Marg| B&M | 3 | 1 | ------------------------------- For Bill, Bill&Sue, Ben and Ben&Marg: rate$ = effort$ / time$. Sue's rate = Sue's effort / Sue's time; Marge's rate = Marge's effort / Marge's time; For Sue and Marge: time$ = effort$ / rate$.However, it is clear from the statments calculateing Sue's and Marge's rate that additional plurals can be used. How can this be accomplished? A prime aspect of Anglish plurals is to organize two dimensional tables such that common formulas apply to facts aligned by rows and columns. This concept is extended to three dimensional tables by stacking two or more two dimensional tables behind one another.
