It's intuitively awkward but I think that's due to training. I
  mean certainly been work done in this area:
  - found this yesterday - The Logic of Metaphor: Analogous Parts
  of Possible Worlds
  By Eric Steinhart

  and maybe I'm misreading it. I'm getting more fluent in the
  lingo but it's not native to me. [I have to mentally translate
  it into programmer-ese - to a kind of pseudocode as a shim as I
  read it, and it's possible I'm doing it wrong].

  But getting an "I guess it fits" from you is meaningful. If
  that's as close to a "don't like it, but if you want to pursue
  it, follow your bliss then" as I'll get from ya Seedy
