Differential Expansions of Propositions Bird’s Eye View An efficient calculus for the realm of logic represented by boolean functions and elementary propositions makes it feasible to compute the finite differences and the differentials of those functions and propositions. For example, … Continue reading

Cactus Language for Propositional Logic Table 1 shows the cactus graphs, the corresponding cactus expressions, their logical meanings under the so‑called existential interpretation, and their translations into conventional notations for a sample of basic propositional forms. Table 1. Syntax and … Continue reading

Differential Logic • 2

Cactus Language for Propositional Logic The development of differential logic is facilitated by having a moderately efficient calculus in place at the level of boolean-valued functions and elementary logical propositions.  One very efficient calculus on both conceptual and computational grounds … Continue reading

Differential Logic • 1

Introduction Differential logic is the component of logic whose object is the description of variation — focusing on the aspects of change, difference, distribution, and diversity — in universes of discourse subject to logical description.  A definition that broad naturally … Continue reading

Theme One Program • Jets and Sharks 2

Example 5. Jets and Sharks (cont.) As we saw last time, Theme One reads the text file shown below and constructs a cactus graph data structure in computer memory.  The cactus graph represents a single logical formula in propositional calculus and … Continue reading

It is easy to spend a long time on the rudiments of learning and logic before getting down to practical applications — but I think we’ve circled square one long enough to expand our scope and see what the category … Continue reading
