Differential Propositional Calculus • 6

Posted on March 2, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

Special Classes of Propositions (cont.) Next we take up the family of positive propositions and follow the same plan as before, tracing the rule of their formation in the case of a 3-dimensional universe of discourse. Positive Propositions In a … Continue reading →

Differential Propositional Calculus • 5

Posted on February 29, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

Special Classes of Propositions (cont.) Let’s pause at this point and get a better sense of how our special classes of propositions are structured and how they relate to propositions in general.  We can do this by recruiting our visual … Continue reading →

Differential Propositional Calculus • 4

Posted on February 25, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

Special Classes of Propositions Before moving on, let’s unpack some of the assumptions, conventions, and implications involved in the array of concepts and notations introduced above. A universe of discourse qualified by the logical features is a set plus the set … Continue reading →

Differential Propositional Calculus • 3

Posted on February 24, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

Formal Development The preceding discussion outlined the ideas leading to the differential extension of propositional logic.  The next task is to lay out the concepts and terminology needed to describe various orders of differential propositional calculi. Elementary Notions Logical description … Continue reading →

Differential Propositional Calculus • 2

Posted on February 22, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

Cactus Calculus Table 6 outlines a syntax for propositional calculus based on two types of logical connectives, both of variable -ary scope. A bracketed sequence of propositional expressions is taken to mean exactly one of the propositions is false, in … Continue reading →

Differential Propositional Calculus • 1

Posted on February 18, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

A differential propositional calculus is a propositional calculus extended by a set of terms for describing aspects of change and difference, for example, processes taking place in a universe of discourse or transformations mapping a source universe to a target … Continue reading →

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 →

Abductive Inference, Concept Formation, Hypothesis Formation • 1

Posted on April 26, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

In pragmatic semiotics, concept formation like hypothesis formation falls under the heading of abductive inference.  A lot has been said and there’s a lot more to say about that, but things are too much in flux right now to allow … Continue reading →

Differential Logic, Dynamic Systems, Tangent Functors • Discussion 8

Posted on December 24, 2018 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Systems Science • Len Troncale It’s been a while since I started this thread, with many sidetrips and tangents, so let me go back to the top and expand on the motivations I expressed there, addressing a few issues … Continue reading →
