The signators. to the letter are approximating stages of pain.
( z0 approximate :ARG0 ( z1 person :ARG0-of ( z2 sign ) ) :ARG1 ( z3 stage :mod ( z4 pain ) ) :prep-to ( z5 letter ) )
(z0 / approximate-01
    :ARG0 (z1 / person
              :ARG0-of (z2 / sign-01))
    :ARG1 (z3 / stage
              :mod (z4 / pain-01))
    :prep-to (z5 / letter))
