Differential Expansions of Propositions Bird’s Eye View An efficient calculus for the realm of logic represented by boolean functions and elementary propositions makes it feasible to compute the finite differences and the differentials of those functions and propositions. For example, … Continue reading →

Cactus Language for Propositional Logic Table 1 shows the cactus graphs, the corresponding cactus expressions, their logical meanings under the so‑called existential interpretation, and their translations into conventional notations for a sample of basic propositional forms. Table 1. Syntax and … Continue reading →

Differential Logic • 1

Posted on October 30, 2024 by Jon Awbrey

Introduction Differential logic is the component of logic whose object is the description of variation — focusing on the aspects of change, difference, distribution, and diversity — in universes of discourse subject to logical description.  A definition that broad naturally … Continue reading →

Theme One Program • Jets and Sharks 2

Posted on June 22, 2024 by Jon Awbrey

Example 5. Jets and Sharks (cont.) As we saw last time, Theme One reads the text file shown below and constructs a cactus graph data structure in computer memory.  The cactus graph represents a single logical formula in propositional calculus and … Continue reading →

Theme One Program • Jets and Sharks 1

Posted on June 20, 2024 by Jon Awbrey

It is easy to spend a long time on the rudiments of learning and logic before getting down to practical applications — but I think we’ve circled square one long enough to expand our scope and see what the category … Continue reading →
