Differential Propositional Calculus • Overview

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 Differential logic is the component of logic … Continue reading

Differential Logic • Overview

A reader once told me “venn diagrams are obsolete” and of course we all know how unwieldy they become as our universes of discourse expand beyond four or five dimensions.  Indeed, one of the first lessons I learned when I … Continue reading

Tangent and Remainder Maps If we follow the classical line which singles out linear functions as ideals of simplicity then we may complete the analytic series of the proposition in the following way. The next venn diagram shows the differential … Continue reading

Enlargement and Difference Maps Continuing with the example the following venn diagram shows the enlargement or shift map in the same style of field picture we drew for the tacit extension A very important conceptual transition has just occurred here, … Continue reading

Propositions and Tacit Extensions Now that we’ve introduced the field picture as an aid to visualizing propositions and their analytic series, a pleasing way to picture the relationship of a proposition to its enlargement or shift map and its difference … Continue reading

Differential Fields The structure of a differential field may be described as follows.  With each point of there is associated an object of the following type:  a proposition about changes in that is, a proposition   In that frame of … Continue reading

Field Picture Let us summarize the outlook on differential logic we’ve reached so far.  We’ve been considering a class of operators on universes of discourse, each of which takes us from considering one universe of discourse to considering a larger … Continue reading

Transforms Expanded over Ordinary and Differential Variables As promised last time, in the next several posts we’ll extend our scope to the full set of boolean functions on two variables and examine how the differential operators and act on that … Continue reading
