This is a document about the game "The Land of Not".
An opposite of opposite if like.
A 10x10 grid of words that are opposite to each other.
Need 50 opposites.
The following is English:
The opposite of not is not The opposite of like is opposite The opposite of left is right The opposite of up is down The opposite of in is out
The following is Clarity:
not not is knot not like is opposite not left is right not up is down not in is out not animal is human not knotty is royal not royal is knotty not artificial is natural
not sit is stand not open is close not winter is summer not empty is full not enter is leave
not yet is already not sour is sweet not summer is winter not fall is spring not sadness is happiness not special is general
not suberb is centre not strange is normal
not relevant is unrelevant # So it goes. not relevant is also irrelivant # So it stays.
The following is word definition in Clarity:
the verb named not to get the opposite of something the noun named knot is an organized or tangled set of things
The following is 'Typeless Clarity':
the opposite-of-opposite is like
the adjective named left is on, toward, or relating to the side of a human body or of a thing that is to the west when the person or thing is facing north.
The next is non-recursive because of the previous definition:
the adverb named left is on or to the left side.
the opposite of knot is not
