I think we need to come up with a way to fill moi'o_4 in Lojban. Ideally at least two ways (the default, and something else). Then it would be easier to write a definition. As it is, I don't know how to fill the place.
So do you have any examples of moi'o_4 in mind?

More casually, for example:
(In Skype or telephone) I will sleep during this day from your point of view (your location). I will sleep during this day from my point of view (my location).
If it is 22:00 19/1 on "your" location and it is 3:00 20/1 on "my" location, how long am "I" going to sleep? 2 hrs or 21 hrs?
I think that x4 helps in case of that.
however, probably, this case is not major to use x4 in. Quite rare cases (and quite casual).
x4 = by calender, by standard, and, ...
I'm afraid that I am not able to say well. oisai
