Logical Graphs • Discussion 5

Posted on August 28, 2023 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Logical Graphs • First Impressions Re: Facebook • Daniel Everett DE: Nice discussion.  Development of icon-based reasoning As it happens, even though Peirce’s systems of logical graphs do have iconic features, their real power over other sorts of logical … Continue reading →

Differential Logic • The Logic of Change and Difference

Posted on August 22, 2023 by Jon Awbrey

Differential logic is the logic of variation — the logic of change and difference. Differential logic is the component of logic whose object is the description of variation — the aspects of change, difference, distribution, and diversity — in universes … Continue reading →

Logic Syllabus • Discussion 2

Posted on June 4, 2023 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Logic Syllabus Re: Laws of Form • John Mingers JM: Is [the “just one true” operator] the same or different to xor?  I have read that xor is true when an odd number of variables are true which would … Continue reading →

Logic Syllabus • Discussion 1

Posted on June 2, 2023 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Logic Syllabus Re: Laws of Form • John Mingers JM: In a previous post you mentioned the minimal negation operator.  Is there also the converse of this, i.e. an operator which is true when exactly one of its arguments … Continue reading →

Theme One Program • Discussion 10

Posted on April 17, 2023 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Mathstodon • Seamus Bradley SB: I thought of a programming language where every function can only return one type:  the return type.  The return type is just a wrapper around a struct that contains the actual return value, but … Continue reading →

Survey of Theme One Program • 5

Posted on March 30, 2023 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 for integrating empirical learning with logical reasoning.  I … Continue reading →

Differential Logic and Dynamic Systems • Overview

Posted on March 4, 2023 by Jon Awbrey

In modeling intelligent systems, whether we are trying to understand a natural system or engineer an artificial system, there has long been a tension or trade‑off between dynamic paradigms and symbolic paradigms.  Dynamic models take their cue from physics, using … Continue reading →
