Animated Logical Graphs • 20

Another tactic I tried by way of porting operator variables into logical graphs and laws of form was to hollow out a leg of Spencer Brown’s crosses, gnomons, markers, whatever you wish to call them, as shown below. The initial idea … Continue reading

We have encountered the question of how to extend our formal calculus to take account of operator variables. In the days when I scribbled these things on the backs of computer punchcards, the first thing I tried was drawing big … Continue reading

Last time we contemplated the penultimately simple algebraic expression as a name for a set of arithmetic expressions, namely, taking the equality sign in the appropriate sense. Then we asked the corresponding question about the operator   The above selection … Continue reading

To get a clearer view of the relation between primary arithmetic and primary algebra consider the following extremely simple algebraic expression. In this expression the variable name appears as an operand name.  In functional terms, is called an argument name, … Continue reading

In lieu of a field study requirement for my bachelor’s degree I spent two years in various state and university libraries reading everything I could find by and about Peirce, poring most memorably through reels of microfilmed Peirce manuscripts Michigan … Continue reading

In George Spencer Brown’s Laws of Form the relation between the primary arithmetic and the primary algebra is founded on the idea that a variable name appearing as an operand in an algebraic expression indicates the contemplated absence or presence … Continue reading

Re: Systems Science • Joseph Simpson One thing I added to the current Survey of Animated Logical Graphs is an earlier report titled “Futures Of Logical Graphs” (FOLG), which takes up a number of difficult issues in more detail than … Continue reading

This is one of several Survey posts I’ll be drafting from time to time, starting with minimal stubs and collecting links to the better variations on persistent themes I’ve worked on over the years.  After that I’ll look to organizing … Continue reading

Differential Logic, Dynamic Systems, Tangent Functors • Discussion 8

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
