This is the first sentance. It is important, and sets the tone wrong (from a formal and English language perspective).
The use of the term "more" in this context if off-putting. It provokes the reader into an immediate defensive stance - more than what| - better than who?
The tone is subtly but unecessarily arrogant.
# Abstract > This paper introduces a **more** useful approach to artificial intelligence that captures meaning and can execute a text like a program, to perform contracts, regulations, and law, in trustless or trusted settings.
Below we suggest some alternatives:
> This paper introduces a useful, and we argue important, approach to the design of artificial intelligence systems.
This of course is easier when written in the first person plural. But there should be a way of expressing the right tone in the first person.
> Our approach captures the meaning and can execute a text like a program, to perform contracts, regulations, and law, in trustless or trusted settings.
I feel this could be stronger. It is of course true, but there are stronger and more interesting aspects described in Monads of Meaning - and we dont need to emphasise "trustless or trusted" or "execute a text like a program" - as these place the argument in familiar blockchain legal space - so we lose the more unique and radical nature of Lexon.
