Survey of Semiotic Theory Of Information • 2

Posted on February 27, 2017 by Jon Awbrey

This is a Survey of previous blog and wiki posts on the Semiotic Theory Of Information.  All my projects are exploratory in essence but this line of inquiry is more open-ended than most.  The question is: What is information and how … Continue reading →

Survey of Relation Theory • 3

Posted on January 17, 2017 by Jon Awbrey

In this Survey of blog and wiki posts on Relation Theory, relations are viewed from the perspective of combinatorics, in other words, as a topic in discrete mathematics, with special attention to finite structures and concrete set-theoretic constructions, many of … Continue reading →

Survey of Precursors Of Category Theory • 1

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Jon Awbrey

A few years ago I began a sketch on the “Precursors of Category Theory”, aiming to trace the continuities of the category concept from Aristotle, to Kant and Peirce, through Hilbert and Ackermann, to contemporary mathematical practice.  A Survey of … Continue reading →

Survey of Inquiry Driven Systems • 1

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Jon Awbrey

This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on Inquiry Driven Systems, material I plan to refine toward a more compact and systematic treatment of the subject. An inquiry driven system is a system having among its state variables … Continue reading →

Survey of Animated Logical Graphs • 1

Posted on May 10, 2015 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 →
