To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "necessary" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "If we want to understand how it works, the best thing we can do is to realize that our input is being converted into MathML although it is not necessary to know MathML."

Here, "necessary" is used in the context of whether knowing MathML is required to use the software. The sentence implies that understanding MathML is not essential or required for using the software.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "absolutely essential." This aligns with the context where "necessary" implies that knowing MathML is not essential to use the software.

2. The second sense is defined as "unavoidably determined by prior circumstances" with examples related to the inevitable consequences of actions. This does not directly relate to the context of whether something is required or essential.

Given the context and the definitions, the use of "necessary" in the sentence best aligns with the first sense, which is about being "absolutely essential." The sentence is discussing whether knowledge of MathML is essential for using the software, not about the inevitability of consequences.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "necessary" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "know" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "If we want to understand how it works, the best thing we can do is to realize that our input is being converted into MathML although it is not necessary to know MathML."

Here, "know" is used in the context of understanding or being familiar with MathML, a markup language for mathematical expressions. The sentence implies that one doesn't need to have knowledge or understanding of MathML to use the tool being described.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about
   - This sense involves having knowledge about something, which could apply to knowing MathML.

2. know how to do or perform something
   - This involves having a skill, which is not directly the case here since knowing MathML isn't necessarily about performing a specific task.

3. be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt
   - This sense is more about believing or being certain of a fact, not directly related to understanding a language or markup like MathML.

4. be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object
   - While this involves familiarity, it's more about people or objects rather than concepts or languages.

5. have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations
   - This is about experiencing something, not directly related to understanding a technical language.

6. accept (someone) to be what is claimed or accept his power and authority
   - This involves recognition or acknowledgment of someone's status or claim, not relevant here.

7. have fixed in the mind
   - This sense is about having learned or memorized something, which could relate to knowing a language or a subject matter.

8. have sexual intercourse with
   - This is unrelated to the context.

9. know the nature or character of
   - This involves understanding someone or something's characteristics.

10. be able to distinguish, recognize as being different
    - This is about differentiation, not directly related to the context.

11. perceive as familiar
    - This involves recognizing something as known, which is somewhat relevant but not the best fit.

Given the context, the most relevant sense is about having knowledge or understanding of MathML, which aligns with sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about." The sentence implies that it's not necessary to possess knowledge or information about MathML to use the tool.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "know" in this context is sense 1.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "based" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about explaining how the syntax of a software (kalgebra) is designed, stating that it is "based on common sense" and has been compared to other similar software (maxima and maple). The sentence implies that the design or foundation of the syntax is rooted in or derived from common sense and the syntax of other similar software.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "use as a basis for; found on" with synonyms "establish, ground, found" and an example "base a claim on some observation". This sense aligns with the context where the syntax is founded or derived from common sense.

2. The second sense is "situate as a center of operations" with an example "we will base this project in the new lab". This sense implies a physical or operational location, which doesn't fit the context of designing syntax.

3. The third sense is related to using purified cocaine, which is unrelated to the context.

Given the context and the definitions, the first sense ("use as a basis for; found on") is the most appropriate because it involves founding or deriving something (in this case, the syntax) from a basis (common sense and the syntax of maxima and maple).

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "based" in the given context is the first sense.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "hard" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "I have based the syntax basically on common sense, it should not be hard for anyone."

Here, "hard" is used to describe the difficulty level of understanding or using the syntax of the software being discussed. The context implies that the syntax is designed to be intuitive and easy to understand, based on "common sense."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **not easy; requiring great physical or mental effort to accomplish or comprehend or endure** - This definition fits the context as it discusses the ease of understanding the syntax.
2. **dispassionate** - This doesn't fit the context as it relates to being objective or unemotional, not the difficulty of a task.
3. **resisting weight or pressure** - This is more related to physical properties and doesn't fit the context.
4. **very strong or vigorous** - While "hard" can mean strong or vigorous in some contexts, it doesn't fit here as the discussion is about ease of use, not intensity.
5. **characterized by effort to the point of exhaustion; especially physical effort** - This is more about the level of effort required, often implying physical labor or intense activity, which doesn't directly relate to the context of understanding syntax.
6. **produced without vibration of the vocal cords** - This relates to phonetics and doesn't fit the context.
7. **(of light) transmitted directly from a pointed light source** - This is about the quality of light and doesn't apply.
8. **(of speech sounds); produced with the back of the tongue raised toward or touching the velum** - This is a phonetic description and not relevant.
9. **given to excessive indulgence of bodily appetites especially for intoxicating liquors** - This refers to someone who drinks a lot and is not relevant.
10. **being distilled rather than fermented; having a high alcoholic content** - This is about liquor and not relevant.
11. **unfortunate or hard to bear** - While "hard" can mean unfortunate, the context is about the difficulty of a task, not its unfortunate nature.
12. **dried out** - This is about the state of being dry, often used for food, and doesn't fit.

The best fit is sense 1, as it directly relates to the difficulty or ease of accomplishing or comprehending something, in this case, understanding the syntax.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "closely" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "I ve looked closely to maxima and maple s syntax so they look very similar."

Here, "closely" is used to describe how the speaker has examined or considered the syntax of maxima and maple. The context implies a careful and attentive examination.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "in a close relation or position in time or space" with examples like "the onsets were closely timed; houses set closely together." This sense typically refers to physical or temporal proximity.

2. The second sense is "in an attentive manner" with synonyms "close, tight" and an example "he remained close on his guard." This implies a careful or vigilant manner.

3. The third sense is "in a close manner" with synonyms "intimately, nearly" and examples "the two phenomena are intimately connected; the person most nearly concerned." This suggests a connection or relationship that is strong or nearly exact.

Given the context, the speaker is talking about examining the syntax of maxima and maple carefully so that the syntax of their own system looks very similar. The adverb "closely" here indicates that the examination was done in an attentive or careful manner.

The most suitable definition is the second one, "in an attentive manner," as it aligns with the idea of carefully examining or looking at something.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "closely" in this context is the second sense.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "look" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "I ve looked closely to maxima and maple s syntax so they look very similar."

First, we need to understand the context. The author is discussing the syntax of their project, Kalgebra, and how it compares to other similar projects like Maxima and Maple. The author mentions that they have based their syntax on these projects, so their syntax looks very similar.

Now, let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Perceive with attention; direct one's gaze towards. This doesn't fit because "look" here doesn't mean to direct one's gaze.
2. Give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect. This seems plausible because it talks about having a certain appearance.
3. Have a certain outward or facial expression. This is not the best fit because the subject is not a person or their expression.
4. Search or seek. This doesn't fit the second occurrence of "look" but could be considered for the first "looked." However, the focus is on the second "look."
5. Be oriented in a certain direction. This doesn't apply to the context.
6. Take charge of or deal with. Not relevant here.
7. Convey by one's expression. Not applicable as it refers to a non-human subject.
8. Look forward to the probable occurrence of. Not relevant.
9. Accord in appearance with. This is a possible interpretation but not the most fitting.
10. Have faith or confidence in. Not relevant.

For the sentence "they look very similar," the most appropriate interpretation is that "look" means to give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect, which aligns with sense 2. The syntax appears or seems very similar to that of Maxima and Maple.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "look" in this context is 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "very" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "very" is used is: "I ve looked closely to maxima and maple s syntax so they look very similar." Here, "very" is used to intensify the adjective "similar," indicating a high degree of similarity between the syntax of the subject application and that of maxima and maple.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: This sense is defined as "used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal" with synonyms like "really," "real," and "rattling." The examples given include "she was very gifted" and "he played very well." This sense is about using "very" to intensify the meaning of an adjective or adverb.
   - **Sense 2**: Defined as "precisely so," with examples like "on the very next page" and "he expected the very opposite." This sense emphasizes exactness or identity.

3. **Applying the Context to the Candidate Senses**:
   - In the given context, "very" is used to intensify "similar," indicating that the syntax looks quite similar to maxima and maple's syntax. This usage aligns with the first sense, where "very" is used as an intensifier.
   - The second sense, emphasizing exactness or identity, doesn't fit as well because "very similar" is about the degree of similarity rather than indicating something is precisely or exactly something.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Based on the analysis, the usage of "very" in the context matches the first sense, which is about intensification.

5. **Returning the Answer**:
   - The first sense is indexed as "1" according to the provided candidate senses.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "very" in the given context is: {"sense_index": 1}.

This sense seems plausible because it discusses resemblance, which is relevant to the context of comparing the syntax of different software applications.

2. The second sense defines "similar" as "having the same or similar characteristics" and provides "alike" and "like" as synonyms. The examples given are "all politicians are alike; they looked utterly alike." This sense is also relevant because it talks about having similar characteristics, which could apply to the syntax of different software being similar.

3. The third sense is defined as "resembling or similar; having the same or some of the same characteristics; often used in combination." It provides "like" as a synonym and gives examples such as "suits of like design; a limited circle of like minds." This sense is relevant as it discusses resemblance and having the same or some of the same characteristics.

4. The fourth sense relates to words expressing closely related meanings, which is not directly relevant to the context of comparing software syntax.

5. The fifth sense discusses the capability of replacing or changing places with something else without loss of function or suitability, providing synonyms like "exchangeable," "interchangeable," "standardized," and "standardised." This sense is not directly relevant to the context because the text is not discussing the interchangeability of the software or their syntax but rather their resemblance.

Given the context, the most relevant senses are the first, second, and third, as they all relate to the concept of resemblance or having similar characteristics. The sentence is comparing the syntax of Kalgebra to that of Maxima and Maple, indicating they share similarities.

The first sense ("marked by correspondence or resemblance") is a broad definition that fits the context well, as it directly addresses the idea of resemblance.

The best answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "use" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses an input field for typing functions or doing calculations and explains that the syntax is based on common sense and is similar to maxima and maple's syntax. It lists various mathematical operations and mentions that for power, one can "use" both "^" and "**".

2. **Understanding the Target Word's Context**: The specific sentence where "use" appears is: "Power, you can use them both." Here, "them" refers to "^" and "**", indicating that the user has the option to employ either symbol for the operation of power.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose**: This sense involves employing something for its intended purpose. The synonyms are "utilize", "utilise", "apply", and "employ". The example given is "use your head!"; "we only use Spanish at home". The context of using "^" and "**" for power fits this description as it involves employing these symbols for their intended mathematical purpose.
   - **2. take or consume (regularly or habitually)**: This involves habitual consumption, with "habituate" as a synonym. The example is "She uses drugs rarely". This doesn't fit the context of using mathematical symbols.
   - **3. use up, consume fully**: This sense is about consuming something entirely, with "expend" as a synonym. The example is "The legislature expended its time on school questions". This doesn't directly relate to the use of symbols in a mathematical context.
   - **4. seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage**: This involves utilizing something to gain an advantage. The examples given are "She uses her influential friends to get jobs"; "The president's wife used her good connections". This doesn't directly apply to the context of mathematical operations.
   - **5. avail oneself to**: This involves applying or practicing something, with "practice" and "apply" as synonyms. The examples are "apply a principle"; "practice a religion". While "apply" is a relevant synonym, the context is more about employing symbols than availing oneself to a principle or practice.
   - **6. habitually do something (use only in the past tense)**: This sense is about past habitual actions, as seen in "She used to call her mother every week but now she calls only occasionally". This doesn't fit the given context.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**: The context clearly indicates that "^" and "**" are being employed for the purpose of representing the mathematical operation of power. This aligns with **sense 1**, which involves putting something into service or employing it for its intended purpose. The synonyms provided for this sense ("utilize", "utilise", "apply", "employ") all relate to using something for a particular purpose, which fits the context of using mathematical symbols for their intended operations.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "use" in the given context is **1**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "use" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context is discussing the syntax for mathematical operations and mentions that it is possible to "use the unicode ² characters." The sentence is talking about employing or utilizing the unicode ² characters for a particular purpose, which is representing powers or roots in mathematical expressions.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose." The synonyms provided are "utilize," "utilise," "apply," and "employ." The example given is "use your head!"; "we only use Spanish at home." This sense fits the context as it involves employing something (in this case, unicode characters) for a particular purpose.

2. The second sense involves "tak[ing] or consum[ing] (regularly or habitually)" and is related to habituating. The example given is "She uses drugs rarely." This doesn't fit the context as the use of unicode characters isn't about consumption or habituation in the same way.

3. The third sense is about "us[ing] up, consum[ing] fully" with the synonym "expend." The example is "The legislature expended its time on school questions." This doesn't fit the context because using unicode characters isn't about consuming or expending them fully in the same manner.

4. The fourth sense is "seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage." The examples given involve using influential friends or connections for personal gain. This doesn't directly relate to the context of using unicode characters for representing mathematical operations.

5. The fifth sense is "avail oneself to" with synonyms "practice" and "apply." The example is "apply a principle; practice a religion." While this involves a form of using or applying something, it's more abstract than the direct employment of unicode characters.

6. The sixth sense is about "habitually do[ing] something" and is used only in the past tense. The examples involve past habitual actions. This doesn't fit the context as the text is not discussing past habits.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the first one, as it involves employing or utilizing something (unicode characters) for a particular purpose (representing powers or roots in mathematical expressions).

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "way" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is about explaining the syntax of a mathematical expression or programming language, where "Powers are one way to make roots too" and "-gt: It's the way to specify the bounded variable in a function." The word "way" is used to indicate a method or means of achieving something.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - The provided candidate senses cover various meanings of "way," including manner, means, direction, condition, path, road, journey, space, distance, freedom to act, category, and division.

3. **Relating Candidate Senses to the Context**:
   - Sense 1 (manner, mode, style) and Sense 2 (means, agency) relate to how something is done or achieved.
   - Sense 3 (direction) and Sense 6 (road or path) are more literal and spatial.
   - Sense 4 (condition of things generally) and Sense 10 (doing as one pleases) don't directly fit the context of explaining a method or means in a mathematical or programming context.
   - Sense 5 (a course of conduct) and Sense 11 (a general category of things) are less directly related to the immediate context of mathematical operations or syntax.
   - Sense 7 (journey or passage), Sense 8 (space for movement), Sense 9 (distance), and Sense 12 (portion of something divided) also don't directly fit the context.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The sentence "Powers are one way to make roots too" implies that using powers is a method or means to achieve making roots. This aligns with Sense 2, "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved," as it discusses a means to an end.

To determine the correct sense of "too" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "...Powers are one way to make roots too."

Here, "too" is used at the end of the sentence. The context is about explaining the syntax of some mathematical operations, specifically mentioning that powers are one way to make roots, and "too" is indicating that there are other ways as well.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "too" as "to a degree exceeding normal or proper limits" with synonyms like "excessively" and "overly." An example given is "too big." This sense does not fit the context because "too" here is not indicating excess but rather addition.

2. The second sense defines "too" as "in addition" with synonyms like "besides," "also," "likewise," and "as well." The example provided is "he has a Mercedes, too." This sense fits the context because "too" is used to indicate that in addition to the mentioned way (powers) of making roots, there are other ways as well.

Given the context and the examples, the best fit for "too" in the sentence is the second sense, which indicates "in addition" or "also."

Therefore, the correct sense index is 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "way" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is about explaining the syntax and usage of certain mathematical operations or functions in a programming or mathematical context. The specific sentence where "way" appears is: "-gt: It's the way to specify the bounded variable in a function."

2. **Understanding the Sentence**: In this sentence, "way" refers to the method or manner in which something is done, specifically how to specify a bounded variable in a function.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. manner, mode, style, fashion**: Refers to "how something is done or how it happens." The example "her dignified manner" illustrates this. This sense fits the context because it talks about the method of specifying a bounded variable.
   - **2. means, agency**: Refers to "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved." While related, it's more about achieving a result rather than the method itself.
   - Other senses relate to physical paths, directions, conditions, journeys, space for movement, distance, doing as one pleases, categories of things, and portions divided into shares. These don't directly fit the context of specifying a method for something.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The sentence implies that "-gt" is used as a method or manner to specify a bounded variable. Thus, we're looking for a sense that aligns with "method" or "manner."
   - Sense 1 ("manner, mode, style, fashion") directly corresponds to this interpretation, as it is about "how something is done or how it happens."

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "way" in the given context is the first one, as it correctly captures the idea of a method or manner of doing something.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "specify" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about explaining the syntax and usage of certain mathematical or programming operations, specifically how to "specify the bounded variable in a function" using "-gt". The sentence implies that "specify" here means to clearly define or determine something (in this case, the bounded variable).

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense involves specifying a condition or requirement in a contract or agreement. While this involves a form of specification, it is more formal and contract-related than the context suggests.

2. The second sense is about deciding upon or fixing something definitely, such as variables or parameters. This is close to the context, as specifying a bounded variable could be seen as fixing or determining it.

3. The third sense involves determining the essential quality of something, which is more about defining the nature or characteristics of something.

4. The fourth sense is about being specific about something, like particularizing a criticism. This involves providing detailed information about something.

5. The fifth sense is to define something clearly, such as narrowing down rules. This involves making something more precise.

6. The sixth sense involves designing or destining something or someone for a purpose, which doesn't directly fit the context of specifying a variable.

7. The seventh sense is about selecting something or someone for a specific purpose, which also doesn't directly fit the given context.

Given the context, the most relevant action related to "specify" is to clearly define or determine the bounded variable in a function. The closest sense to this action is the second sense, which involves deciding upon or fixing something definitely, like variables or parameters. The synonyms for this sense (set, determine, define, fix, limit) all relate to the action of making something specific or clear, which aligns with the context of specifying a bounded variable.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "specify" in this context is the second sense.

   - **4. a symbol (like x or y) that is used in mathematical or logical expressions to represent a variable quantity**: This sense directly relates to the use of symbols in mathematics and programming to represent variables.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context is clearly about mathematical or programming syntax, so senses related to these areas are more relevant.
   - Sense 3 is irrelevant as it pertains to astronomy.
   - Between senses 1, 2, and 4, sense 4 is the most specific to the context of mathematical expressions and programming, as it directly refers to symbols used to represent variable quantities.
   - The discussion around specifying a bounded variable in a function and the use of symbols aligns well with sense 4.

5. **Conclusion**: Given the context and the definitions provided, the most appropriate sense for "variable" is sense 4, as it directly relates to the use of symbols in mathematical expressions to represent variables.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is 4.
