Abstract

There is a certain tension in the presentation of CBPV: how much attention shall we devote to CBN and CBV? On the one hand, we are claiming that CBPV “subsumes” CBN and CBV, and to see how that is achieved we have to discuss CBN and CBV, at least to some extent. On the other hand, a thorough study of CBN and CBV would be a waste of effort, since a primary purpose of CBPV is to relieve us of that task. Once we have CBPV (which we want to introduce as early as possible), CBV and CBN are seen to be just particular fragments of it.
