Good point.
I think there's a name for "rank 0 verbs which
have rank 0 results", but I'm drawing a blank
at the moment on what that name is. If it's
"atomic" I'm a little concerned about ambiguity
(because of the whole ACID set of concepts from
database programming).
Maybe there should instead by a name for verbs
where the shape of the verb's result does not vary
over its domain? Or maybe there is a name for
this concept and I'm just not remembering it?
Thanks,
