Ontologies As Systems • Comment 1

Posted on October 5, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Ontolog Forum • Joseph Simpson The reason I’ve been maintaining an interdisciplinary perspective in my postings to the Ontolog Forum, Structural Modeling, and Systems Science groups is because each one stresses a distinct but necessary aspect of a systems … Continue reading →

Peirce’s 1870 “Logic of Relatives” • Overview

Posted on September 24, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

My long ago encounter with Peirce’s 1870 paper, “Description of a Notation for the Logic of Relatives, Resulting from an Amplification of the Conceptions of Boole’s Calculus of Logic”, was one of the events precipitating my return from the hazier … Continue reading →

Posted on September 22, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Laws of Form • James Bowery The concepts of closure and idempotence are closely related. We usually speak of a closure operator in contexts where the objects acted on are the primary interest, as in topology, where the objects … Continue reading →

Posted on September 20, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Structural Modeling • Joseph Simpson Re: Peirce’s 1870 Logic Of Relatives • Selection 1 A critical question in mathematical logic and its applications concerns the threshold of complexity between dyadic (binary) and triadic (ternary) relations, in essence, whether 2-place … Continue reading →

Posted on September 17, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

Cross-paradigm communication, like cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural communication, can be difficult.  Sometimes people do not even recognize the existence of other paradigms, disciplines, cultures, long before it comes to the question of their value.  Readers of Peirce know he often uses … 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 →
