We have judicative sentences (†'-sentences) which are assigned truth (or falsity) just in case their radicals qualify for radical truth (or radical falsity); and we have volitive sentences (!'-sentences which are assigned practical value (or disvalue) just in case their radicals qualify for radical goodness (or badness). Since the sentential forms will indicate which kind of value is involved, we can use the generic term 'satisfactory'.
