Survey of Differential Logic • 8

Posted on May 3, 2025 by Jon Awbrey

This is a Survey of work in progress on Differential Logic, resources under development toward a more systematic treatment. Differential logic is the component of logic whose object is the description of variation — the aspects of change, difference, distribution, … Continue reading →

Survey of Animated Logical Graphs • 8

Posted on May 2, 2025 by Jon Awbrey

This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on Logical Graphs, encompassing several families of graph‑theoretic structures originally developed by Charles S. Peirce as graphical formal languages or visual styles of syntax amenable to interpretation for logical applications. Beginnings Logical Graphs … Continue reading →

Transformations of Discourse It is understandable that an engineer should be completely absorbed in his speciality, instead of pouring himself out into the freedom and vastness of the world of thought, even though his machines are being sent off to … Continue reading →

Posted on December 29, 2024 by Jon Awbrey

Example 2. Drives and Their Vicissitudes (cont.) With a little thought it is possible to devise a canonical indexing scheme for the states in differential logical systems.  A scheme of that order allows for comparing changes of state in universes … Continue reading →
