Differential Logic • 3

Posted on March 24, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

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 • 2

Posted on March 23, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

Cactus Language for Propositional Logic The development of differential logic is facilitated by having a moderately efficient calculus in place at the level of boolean-valued functions and elementary logical propositions.  One very efficient calculus on both conceptual and computational grounds … Continue reading →

Differential Logic • 1

Posted on March 22, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

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

Differential Logic • Overview

Posted on March 20, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

The previous series of blog posts on Differential Propositional Calculus brought us to the threshold of the subject without quite stepping over but I wanted to lay out the necessary ingredients in the most concrete, intuitive, and visual way possible … Continue reading →

Survey of Cybernetics • 1

Posted on March 18, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

Again, in a ship, if a man were at liberty to do what he chose, but were devoid of mind and excellence in navigation (αρετης κυβερνητικης), do you perceive what must happen to him and his fellow sailors? Plato • … Continue reading →

Survey of Animated Logical Graphs • 2

Posted on May 22, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

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 →

Survey of Abduction, Deduction, Induction, Analogy, Inquiry • 1

Posted on March 8, 2017 by Jon Awbrey

This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on three elementary forms of inference, as recognized by a logical tradition extending from Aristotle through Charles S. Peirce.  Particular attention is paid to the way these inferential rudiments combine to … Continue reading →
