Re: Laws of Form • John Mingers • Lyle Anderson Dear John, Lyle, There is nothing simple about the interpretation of If-Then-Else constructions in ordinary language as they combine the equivocation between formal and material implication at the outset with … Continue reading →

Re: Laws of Form • John Mingers JM: Most of the recent discussion is about two-variable logic forms where there is a logical relation between two logical variables.  I want to bring up the subject of three-variable logic which I … Continue reading →

De In Esse Predication • Preliminaries

Posted on May 23, 2021 by Jon Awbrey

Questions have arisen in several places about classical logic and its vicissitudes, what used to be called “deviant logics” in some circles, all of which I recall being hot topics and much-mooted questions when I was a young wffer-snapper and Novice … Continue reading →

Differential Logic and Dynamic Systems • Discussion 1

Posted on May 18, 2021 by Jon Awbrey

It is understandable that an engineer should be completely absorbed in his speciality, instead of pouring himself out into the freedom and vastness of the world of thought, even though his machines are being sent off to the ends of … Continue reading →

Survey of Differential Logic • 3

Posted on May 15, 2021 by Jon Awbrey

This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on Differential Logic, material I plan to develop toward a more compact and systematic account. Note.  One effect of the pandemic has been been to blot out my memory of much … Continue reading →
