This is a Survey of resources relating to the Theme One Program I worked on all through the 1980s.  The aim was to develop fundamental algorithms and data structures for integrating empirical learning with logical reasoning.  I had earlier developed separate programs for basic components of those tasks, in particular, two‑level formal language learning and propositional constraint satisfaction, the latter using an extension of C.S. Peirce’s logical graphs as a syntax for propositional logic.  Thus arose the question of how well it might be possible to get “empiricist” and “rationalist” modes of operation to cooperate.  The long‑term vision is the implementation of an Automated Research Tool able to double as a platform for Inquiry Driven Education.
