Differential Logic, Dynamic Systems, Tangent Functors • Discussion 2

Re: Cybernetic Communications • SU One thing that interests me here is the relation between narratives and navigation.  Navigation has to do with how we move through actual state spaces while narratives are the tales we tell about past adventures … Continue reading

Differential Logic, Dynamic Systems, Tangent Functors • Discussion 1

Re: Cybernetics • Stuart Umpleby Susan and I just returned from our annual dramatic immersion in Stratford Ontario and the last play we saw was a playfully dramatic rendition of Milton’s Paradise Lost. That and the spectacular immorality play currently … Continue reading

Differential Logic, Dynamic Systems, Tangent Functors • 1

People interested in category theory as applied to systems may wish to check out the following article, reporting work I carried out while engaged in a systems engineering program at Oakland University. The problem addressed is a longstanding one, that … Continue reading

Sign Relations, Triadic Relations, Relations • 11

Re: Ontolog Forum • Ravi Sharma In pursuing applications of pragmatic semiotics to scientific research the following distinctions are crucial. We have the relational roles known as Object, Sign, and Interpretant Sign.  These are places or roles a thing may … Continue reading

Inquiry Driven Systems • Comment 5

Re: Ontolog Forum • Bruce Schuman I would call that the pragmatic semiotic point of view and not find anything shocking in it. One can find earlier foreshadowings — Plato’s Cratylus and the Stoic lekton are often mentioned in this … Continue reading

Inquiry Driven Systems • Comment 4

Re: Ontolog Forum • Matthew West In the systems approach to inquiry I’ve been pursuing, all specifications, state descriptions, or values of variables come in three modalities:  expected, intended, and actually observed. A difference between expectation and observation is accounted … Continue reading

Inquiry Driven Systems • Comment 3

Re: Ontolog Forum • Michael DeBellis I remember Doug Medin from the year I was at Illinois and I recall a colloquium talk Frank Keil gave at Michigan State which intrigued me because he echoed ideas from Kant about the … Continue reading

Theme One Program • Discussion 4

Re: Systems Science • Joseph Simpson Let me step back and talk about the research intention driving this work. In a very real sense everything I’ve been doing along this line of inquiry for the last fifty years falls within … Continue reading

What I’m doing this summer … Eighteen years living in the same place and we blissfully forgot what it takes to pack up a house and find a new one.  Thankfully most of the renovation work is done but it’s … Continue reading

Theme One Program • Discussion 2

Re: Systems Science • Joseph Simpson Warfield gets it right about the relationship between object languages and metalanguages.  Something about the prefix meta- has contributed to a not uncommon misconception that metalanguages are formalized to a higher degree than the … Continue reading
