Survey of Inquiry Driven Systems • 4

This is a Survey of blog and wiki resources on Inquiry Driven Systems, material I plan to refine toward a more compact and systematic treatment of the subject. An inquiry driven system is a system having among its state variables … Continue reading

Re: John Baez • Cyclic Identity for Partial Derivatives • Maxwell’s Relations (1) (2) (3) Much fun can be had by trying to do differentials and partial differentials over the boolean domain instead of the reals I took a first whack … Continue reading

Differential Logic • Comment 6

Cf: Category Theory • Jon Awbrey I opened a topic in the “logic” stream of “category theory.zulipchat” to discuss differential logic in a category theoretic environment and began by linking a few basic resources. The topic on logical graphs introduced … Continue reading

Re: Peirce List • John Sowa : “Modal Logic Is An Immense Swamp” Dear John, Best title I’ve read in a long time!  But the really immense swamp critter here is the Naturally Evolved Organon known as ornery natural language which … Continue reading

Cybernetics • Requisite Variety • Selection 13

Our venture into cybernetics, the study of systems whose time evolution signifies an object, brings us to the point of seeing how pragmatic, semiotic, and systems thinking all have triadic relations at their core. Recall the game between and determined by … Continue reading

Cybernetics • Requisite Variety • Selection 12

Ashby now invites us to consider a series of games, beginning as follows. Requisite Variety 11/3.   Play and outcome.  Let us therefore forget all about regulation and simply suppose that we are watching two players, and who are engaged … Continue reading

Re: Cybernetic Communications • Stephen Paul King SPK: Is it possible that beliefs can propagate almost completely contrary to facts, seen by those that are not infected with those beliefs? Can we have complex waves in the domains of binary truth … Continue reading

Cybernetics • Requisite Variety • Selection 11

Ashby now takes a few steps back from the picture of regulation in biological systems, setting out the framework he needs for a broader perspective on regulation in general. Requisite Variety 11/1.   In the previous chapter we considered regulation … Continue reading
