Readings On Determination

Posted on April 11, 2016 by Jon Awbrey

This is an anchor post for a set of readings on determination, focusing on the census of senses Peirce employed in his pragmatic approach to information, inquiry, science, and signs with a pinch of readings from other writers for historical … Continue reading →

Survey of Theme One Program • 1

Posted on May 18, 2015 by Jon Awbrey

This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts relating to the Theme One Program I worked on all through the 1980s.  The aim was to develop fundamental algorithms and data structures to support an integrated learning and reasoning interface, … Continue reading →
