Differential Propositional Calculus • Overview

Posted on February 16, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

The most fundamental concept in cybernetics is that of “difference”, either that two things are recognisably different or that one thing has changed with time. W. Ross Ashby • An Introduction to Cybernetics Here’s the outline of a sketch I … Continue reading →

Differential Logic and Dynamic Systems • Overview

Posted on September 10, 2019 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 →

The duality between Entitative and Existential interpretations of logical graphs is a good example of a mathematical symmetry, in this case a symmetry of order two.  Symmetries of this and higher orders give us conceptual handles on excess complexity in … Continue reading →

The rules given in the previous post for evaluating cactus graphs were given in purely formal terms, that is, by referring to the mathematical forms of cacti without mentioning their potential for logical meaning.  As it turns out, two ways … Continue reading →
