Reasoning
I followed this chain of reasoning...
By calculation (generator: ["now@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
The current time is March 14th 2010, 13:26:16
The current time is March 14th 2010, 13:26:16
I know from locally stored knowledge that:
treat as antisymmetric applies to is taller than ([fact: ["232414386@trueknowledge.com"]])
treat as antisymmetric applies to is taller than ([fact: ["232414386@trueknowledge.com"]])
By calculation (generator: ["strictequal1@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
object with a height is strictly equal to object with a height
object with a height is strictly equal to object with a height
I know from locally stored knowledge that:
is taller than is a left comparison of is the height of ([fact: ["16633219@trueknowledge.com"]])
is taller than is a left comparison of is the height of ([fact: ["16633219@trueknowledge.com"]])
Fact 2:
318.9 metres
is the height of
the Chrysler building
([fact: ["16633044@trueknowledge.com"]])
By calculation (generator: ["first_parameter@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
318.9 is the first parameter of 318.9 metres
318.9 is the first parameter of 318.9 metres
By calculation (generator: ["strictequal1@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
318.9 metres is strictly equal to 318.9 metres
318.9 metres is strictly equal to 318.9 metres
Therefore (generator: ["base_unit_equivalent5@trueknowledge.com"]):
318.9 metres is the base unit equivalent of 318.9 metres
318.9 metres is the base unit equivalent of 318.9 metres
By calculation (generator: ["second_parameter@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
metre is the second parameter of 318.9 metres
metre is the second parameter of 318.9 metres
I know from locally stored knowledge that:
metre is a unit of length ([fact: ["1162015@trueknowledge.com"]])
metre is a unit of length ([fact: ["1162015@trueknowledge.com"]])
By calculation (generator: ["second_parameter@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
metre is the second parameter of 324 metres
metre is the second parameter of 324 metres
I know from locally stored knowledge that:
Fact 3: 1 is the multiplier that converts metre and metre ([fact: ["641960576@trueknowledge.com"]])
Fact 3: 1 is the multiplier that converts metre and metre ([fact: ["641960576@trueknowledge.com"]])
By calculation (generator: ["timeperiodtopoint@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
Fact 3: is true at March 14th 2010, 13:26:16
Fact 3: is true at March 14th 2010, 13:26:16
By calculation (generator: ["first_parameter@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
324 is the first parameter of 324 metres
324 is the first parameter of 324 metres
By calculation (generator: ["product@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
324 is the product of 1 and 324
324 is the product of 1 and 324
By calculation (generator: ["class_parametered_object@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
length is the class of the parametered object 324 metres
length is the class of the parametered object 324 metres
By calculation (generator: ["parametered_object_corresponding_to@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
324 metres is the parametered object corresponding to length and 324 and metre
324 metres is the parametered object corresponding to length and 324 and metre
Therefore (generator: ["equivalent_to6@trueknowledge.com"]):
Fact 4 324 metres is equivalent to 324 metres
Fact 4 324 metres is equivalent to 324 metres
By calculation (generator: ["equivalent_to6@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
Fact 4: is true for all time
Fact 4: is true for all time
Therefore (generator: ["equivalent_to6@trueknowledge.com"]):
Fact 4 metre is the unit used in 324 metres
Fact 4 metre is the unit used in 324 metres
By calculation (generator: ["numeric_greater_than@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
324 is greater than 318.9
324 is greater than 318.9
Therefore (generator: ["scalar_greater@trueknowledge.com"]):
324 metres is greater than 318.9 metres
324 metres is greater than 318.9 metres
By calculation (generator: ["tpintersect@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
May 28th 1930 onwards is the timeperiod intersection of 1889 onwards and May 28th 1930 onwards
May 28th 1930 onwards is the timeperiod intersection of 1889 onwards and May 28th 1930 onwards
Therefore (generator: ["scalar_comparison3@trueknowledge.com"]):
Fact 5 the Eiffel Tower is taller than the Chrysler building
Fact 5 the Eiffel Tower is taller than the Chrysler building
By calculation (generator: ["scalar_comparison3@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
Fact 5: is true for May 28th 1930 onwards
Fact 5: is true for May 28th 1930 onwards
By calculation (generator: ["tpintersect@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
January 31st 2007 onwards is the timeperiod intersection of January 31st 2007 onwards and May 28th 1930 onwards
January 31st 2007 onwards is the timeperiod intersection of January 31st 2007 onwards and May 28th 1930 onwards
Therefore (generator: ["antisymmetric1@trueknowledge.com"]):
Fact 6 the Chrysler building is not taller than the Eiffel Tower
Fact 6 the Chrysler building is not taller than the Eiffel Tower
By calculation (generator: ["antisymmetric1@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
Fact 6: is true for January 31st 2007 onwards
Fact 6: is true for January 31st 2007 onwards
By calculation (generator: ["timeperiodtotimepoint2@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
Fact 6: is true for all of timepoint March 14th 2010, 13:26:16
Fact 6: is true for all of timepoint March 14th 2010, 13:26:16
By calculation (generator: ["antisymmetric1@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
Fact 6: is true for February 1st 2007 onwards
Fact 6: is true for February 1st 2007 onwards
