Re: Network Example: Sibling of Opposite Gender

I admit I haven't been following this thread too closely, but
I have to ask: can you be more specific about how you
see gender as behaving? In particular, now that you apparently
allow an entity to be "both male and female" I wonder if you
can enumerate all the possibilities, and their opposites as
well? Is it:

gender opposite
-----------------------
(male) (female)
(female) (male)
(male, female) ()
() (male, female)

In addition, I now add that black and white are opposites. Then I get
the thing whose relationship to black is the same as john's gender's
relationship to mary's gender.

Can you be more clear about what you think "opposite" is? Is
it just a named bunch of named pairs? In other words, are
you doing this entirely by name?

Do you by any chance have a real-world use-case for a
query like "the thing whose relationship to black is the same
as john's gender's relationship to mary's gender."
