Pragmatic Semiotic Information • Discussion 3

Posted on September 4, 2018 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Ontolog Forum • JFS What I find lacking in these static ontological hierarchies is the dynamic, functional, transformational side of scientific inquiry, the process that produces the product known as knowledge.  If sciences are bodies of organized knowledge, what … Continue reading →

Pragmatic Semiotic Information • Discussion 2

Posted on September 2, 2018 by Jon Awbrey

I’ve been following the discussion on the Sys Sci list that asks the question, “What Is Systems Science?”.  I haven’t found the time to join in yet but it is very interesting to me on account of the fact my … Continue reading →

Survey of Semiotic Theory Of Information • 3

Posted on August 30, 2018 by Jon Awbrey

This is a Survey of previous blog and wiki posts on the Semiotic Theory Of Information.  All my projects are exploratory in essence but this line of inquiry is more open-ended than most.  The question is: What is information and how … Continue reading →

Pragmatic Semiotic Information • Discussion 1

Posted on August 22, 2018 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Systems Science • Kenneth Lloyd Ken’s comment made me realize that the notation is probably not the best.  It tends to mislead us into thinking we already have in hand, in other words, that we already have perfect information … Continue reading →

Pragmatic Semiotic Information • Ψ

Posted on August 21, 2018 by Jon Awbrey

I remember it was back in ’76 when I began to notice a subtle shift of focus in the computer science journals I was reading, from discussing X to discussing Information About X, a transformation I noted mentally as whenever … Continue reading →

Constraints and Indications • 2

Posted on July 4, 2018 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Ontolog Forum • Joseph Simpson Coping with collaboration, communication, context, integration, interoperability, perspective, purpose, and the reality of the information dimension demands a transition from conceptual environments bounded by dyadic relations to those informed by triadic relations, especially the … Continue reading →

Definition and Determination • 17

Posted on April 23, 2018 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Ontolog Forum • Richard McCullough RM:  We clearly have some differences in the “definition” of “definition”. I suppose it all depends on the sorts of things one wants to define, something we might call the context of application.  I am … Continue reading →

Definition and Determination • 16

Posted on April 22, 2018 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Ontolog Forum • Richard McCullough RM:  What is your view of definitions? A recurring question, always worth some thought, so I added my earlier comment to a long-running series on my blog concerned with Definition and Determination. Survey of Definition … Continue reading →

Posted on April 21, 2018 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Ontolog Forum • Richard McCullough In some early math course I learned a fourfold scheme of Primitives (undefined terms), Definitions, Axioms, and Inference Rules.  But later excursions tended to run the axioms and definitions together, speaking for example of … Continue reading →

Pragmatic Traction • 7

Posted on November 8, 2017 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List • John Sowa It’s good to remember that observation, perception itself, has an abductive character in Peirce’s analysis and induction for him is more a final testing than initial conception stage.  Yes, it’s wheels upon wheels but … Continue reading →
