Re: Cybernetic Communications • SU One thing that interests me here is the relation between narratives and navigation.  Navigation has to do with how we move through actual state spaces while narratives are the tales we tell about past adventures … Continue reading →

Re: Cybernetics • Stuart Umpleby Susan and I just returned from our annual dramatic immersion in Stratford Ontario and the last play we saw was a playfully dramatic rendition of Milton’s Paradise Lost.  That and the spectacular immorality play currently … Continue reading →

Differential Logic • Comment 3

Posted on December 30, 2017 by Jon Awbrey

In my previous comment on boundaries in object universes and venn diagrams, and always when I’m being careful about their mathematical senses, the definitions of “topology” and “boundary” I have in mind can be found in any standard textbook.  Here are … Continue reading →

Differential Logic • Comment 2

Posted on December 28, 2017 by Jon Awbrey

As always, we have to distinguish between the diagram itself, the representation or sign inscribed in some medium, and the formal object it represents under a given interpretation. A venn diagram is an iconic sign we use to represent a … Continue reading →

Re: Gil Kalai • Pivotal Variables Just a tangential association with respect to logical influence and pivotability.  I have been exploring questions related to pivotal variables (“Differences that Make a Difference” or “Difference In ⟹ Difference Out”) via logical analogues … Continue reading →

Re: Cristopher Moore on Theorems From Physics? It is critically important to distinguish between the objective landscape, the boolean functions as mathematical objects, and the syntactic landscape, the particular formal language we are using as a propositional calculus to denote … Continue reading →
