'''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]] that are subject to logical description.  In formal logic, differential logic treats the principles that govern the use of a ''differential logical calculus'', that is, a formal system with the expressive capacity to describe change and diversity in logical universes of discourse.

'''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]] that are subject to logical description.  A definition that broad naturally incorporates any study of variation by way of mathematical models, but differential logic is especially charged with the qualitative aspects of variation that pervade or precede quantitative models.  To the extent that a logical inquiry makes use of a formal system, its differential component treats the principles that govern the use of a ''differential logical calculus'', that is, a formal system with the expressive capacity to describe change and diversity in a logical universe of discourse.
    
A simple example of a differential logical calculus is furnished by a ''[[differential propositional calculus]]''.  A differential propositional calculus is a [[propositional calculus]] extended by a set of terms for describing aspects of change and difference, for example, processes that take place in a universe of discourse or transformations that map a source universe into a target universe.  This augments ordinary propositional calculus in the same way that the differential calculus of Leibniz and Newton augments the analytic geometry of Descartes.

==Quick Overview==
   −
One of the first things that you can do, once you have a moderately efficient calculus for boolean functions or propositional logic, whatever you choose to call it, is to start thinking about, and even start computing, the differentials of these functions or propositions.
+
===Cactus Language for Propositional Logic===
   −
Let us start with a proposition of the form <math>p ~\operatorname{and}~ q</math> that is graphed as two labels attached to a root node:
+
The development of differential logic is greatly facilitated by having a conceptually efficient calculus in place at the level of [[boolean-valued functions]] and elementary logical propositions.  A calculus that is very efficient from both conceptual and computational standpoints is based on just two types of logical connectives, both of variable <math>k\!</math>-ary scope.  The formulas of this calculus map into a species of graph-theoretical structures called ''painted and rooted cacti'' (PARCs) that lend visual representation to their functional structure and smooth the path to efficient computation.

| The first kind of propositional expression is a parenthesized sequence of propositional expressions, written as <math>\texttt{(} e_1 \texttt{,} e_2 \texttt{,} \ldots \texttt{,} e_{k-1} \texttt{,} e_k \texttt{)}\!</math> and read to say that exactly one of the propositions <math>e_1, e_2, \ldots, e_{k-1}, e_k\!</math> is false, in other words, that their [[minimal negation]] is true.  A clause of this form maps into a PARC structure called a ''lobe'', in this case, one that is ''painted'' with the colors <math>e_1, e_2, \ldots, e_{k-1}, e_k\!</math> as shown below.

The proposition <math>pq\!</math> may be taken as a boolean function <math>f(p, q)\!</math> having the abstract type <math>f : \mathbb{B} \times \mathbb{B} \to \mathbb{B},</math> where <math>\mathbb{B} = \{ 0, 1 \}</math> is read in such a way that <math>0\!</math> means <math>\operatorname{false}</math> and <math>1\!</math> means <math>\operatorname{true}.</math>

In this style of graphical representation, the value <math>\operatorname{true}</math> looks like a blank label and the value <math>\operatorname{false}</math> looks like an edge.

Back to the proposition <math>pq.\!</math>  Imagine yourself standing in a fixed cell of the corresponding venn diagram, say, the cell where the proposition <math>pq\!</math> is true, as shown in the following Figure:

   −
Now ask yourself: What is the value of the proposition <math>pq\!</math> at a distance of <math>\operatorname{d}p</math> and <math>\operatorname{d}q</math> from the cell <math>pq\!</math> where you are standing?
+
All other propositional connectives can be obtained through combinations of these two forms. Strictly speaking, the parenthesized form is sufficient to define the concatenated form, making the latter formally dispensable, but it is convenient to maintain it as a concise way of expressing more complicated combinations of parenthesized forms.  While working with expressions solely in propositional calculus, it is easiest to use plain parentheses for logical connectives.  In contexts where ordinary parentheses are needed for other purposes an alternate typeface <math>\texttt{(} \ldots \texttt{)}\!</math> may be used for logical operators.

Don't think about it &mdash; just compute:

The cactus formula <math>\texttt{(p, dp)(q, dq)}</math> and its corresponding graph arise by substituting <math>p + \operatorname{d}p</math> for <math>p\!</math> and <math>q + \operatorname{d}q</math> for <math>q\!</math> in the boolean product or logical conjunction <math>pq\!</math> and writing the result in the two dialects of cactus syntax.  This follows from the fact that the boolean sum <math>p + \operatorname{d}p</math> is equivalent to the logical operation of exclusive disjunction, which parses to a cactus graph of the following form:

proposition <math>pq\!</math> over there, at a distance of <math>\operatorname{d}p</math> and <math>\operatorname{d}q,</math> and the value of the proposition <math>pq\!</math> where you are standing, all expressed in the form of a general formula, of course?  Here is the appropriate formulation:

There is one thing that I ought to mention at this point:  Computed over <math>\mathbb{B},</math> plus and minus are identical operations.  This will make the relation between the differential and the integral parts of the appropriate calculus slightly stranger than usual, but we will get into that later.

Last question, for now:  What is the value of this expression from your current standpoint, that is, evaluated at the point where <math>pq\!</math> is true?  Well, substituting <math>1\!</math> for <math>p\!</math> and <math>1\!</math> for <math>q\!</math> in the graph amounts to erasing the labels <math>p\!</math> and <math>q\!,</math> as shown here:

It will be necessary to develop a more refined analysis of that statement directly, but that is roughly the nub of it.
  −
 
  −
If the form of the above statement reminds you of De&nbsp;Morgan's rule, it is no accident, as differentiation and negation turn out to be closely related operations.  Indeed, one can find discussions of logical difference calculus in the Boole&ndash;De&nbsp;Morgan correspondence and Peirce also made use of differential operators in a logical context, but the exploration of these ideas has been hampered by a number of factors, not the least of which has been the lack of a syntax that was adequate to handle the complexity of expressions that evolve.

Let us run through the initial example again, this time attempting to interpret the formulas that develop at each stage along the way.

A function like this has an abstract type and a concrete type.  The abstract type is what we invoke when we write things like <math>f : \mathbb{B} \times \mathbb{B} \to \mathbb{B}</math> or <math>f : \mathbb{B}^2 \to \mathbb{B}.</math>  The concrete type takes into account the qualitative dimensions or the "units" of the case, which can be explained as follows.

We did not yet go through the trouble to interpret this (first order) ''difference of conjunction'' fully, but were happy simply to evaluate it with respect to a single location in the universe of discourse, namely, at the point picked out by the singular proposition <math>pq,\!</math> that is, at the place where <math>p = 1\!</math> and <math>q = 1.\!</math>  This evaluation is written in the form <math>\operatorname{D}f|_{pq}</math> or <math>\operatorname{D}f|_{(1, 1)},</math> and we arrived at the locally applicable law that is stated and illustrated as follows:

It is important to note that the last expressions are not equivalent to the 3-place parenthesis <math>\texttt{(} a \texttt{,} b \texttt{,} c \texttt{)}.\!</math>

The differential proposition that results may be interpreted to say "change <math>p\!</math> or change <math>q\!</math> or both".  And this can be recognized as just what you need to do if you happen to find yourself in the center cell and require a complete and detailed description of ways to escape it.

Written as a string, this is just the concatenation <math>p~q\!</math>.

==Note 4==

The proposition <math>pq\!</math> may be taken as a boolean function <math>f(p, q)\!</math> having the abstract type <math>f : \mathbb{B} \times \mathbb{B} \to \mathbb{B},\!</math> where <math>\mathbb{B} = \{ 0, 1 \}~\!</math> is read in such a way that <math>0\!</math> means <math>\mathrm{false}\!</math> and <math>1\!</math> means <math>\mathrm{true}.\!</math>

Last time we computed what is variously called the ''difference map'', the ''difference proposition'', or the ''local proposition'' <math>\operatorname{D}f_x</math> of the proposition <math>f(p, q) = pq\!</math> at the point <math>x\!</math> where <math>p = 1\!</math> and <math>q = 1.\!</math>
+
Imagine yourself standing in a fixed cell of the corresponding venn diagram, say, the cell where the proposition <math>pq\!</math> is true, as shown in the following Figure:
   −
In the universe <math>X = P \times Q,</math> the four propositions <math>pq,~ p \texttt{(} q \texttt{)},~ \texttt{(} p \texttt{)} q,~ \texttt{(} p \texttt{)(} q \texttt{)}</math> that indicate the "cells", or the smallest regions of the venn diagram, are called ''singular propositions''.  These serve as an alternative notation for naming the points <math>(1, 1),~ (1, 0),~ (0, 1),~ (0, 0),\!</math> respectively.

Thus we can write <math>\operatorname{D}f_x = \operatorname{D}f|x = \operatorname{D}f|(1, 1) = \operatorname{D}f|pq,</math> so long as we know the frame of reference in force.

Now ask yourself:  What is the value of the proposition <math>pq\!</math> at a distance of <math>\mathrm{d}p\!</math> and <math>\mathrm{d}q\!</math> from the cell <math>pq\!</math> where you are standing?
   −
In the example <math>f(p, q) = pq,\!</math> the value of the difference proposition <math>\operatorname{D}f_x</math> at each of the four points in <math>x \in X\!</math> may be computed in graphical fashion as shown below:

The easy way to visualize the values of these graphical expressions is just to notice the following equivalents:

The cactus formula <math>\texttt{(p, dp)(q, dq)}\!</math> and its corresponding graph arise by substituting <math>p + \mathrm{d}p\!</math> for <math>p\!</math> and <math>q + \mathrm{d}q\!</math> for <math>q\!</math> in the boolean product or logical conjunction <math>pq\!</math> and writing the result in the two dialects of cactus syntax.  This follows from the fact that the boolean sum <math>p + \mathrm{d}p\!</math> is equivalent to the logical operation of exclusive disjunction, which parses to a cactus graph of the following form:

Next question:  What is the difference between the value of the proposition <math>pq\!</math> over there, at a distance of <math>\mathrm{d}p\!</math> and <math>\mathrm{d}q,\!</math> and the value of the proposition <math>pq\!</math> where you are standing, all expressed in the form of a general formula, of course?  Here is the appropriate formulation:

There is one thing that I ought to mention at this point:  Computed over <math>\mathbb{B},\!</math> plus and minus are identical operations.  This will make the relation between the differential and the integral parts of the appropriate calculus slightly stranger than usual, but we will get into that later.

Last question, for now:  What is the value of this expression from your current standpoint, that is, evaluated at the point where <math>pq\!</math> is true?  Well, substituting <math>1\!</math> for <math>p\!</math> and <math>1\!</math> for <math>q\!</math> in the graph amounts to erasing the labels <math>p\!</math> and <math>q\!,\!</math> as shown here:

It will be necessary to develop a more refined analysis of that statement directly, but that is roughly the nub of it.
 +
 +
If the form of the above statement reminds you of De&nbsp;Morgan's rule, it is no accident, as differentiation and negation turn out to be closely related operations.  Indeed, one can find discussions of logical difference calculus in the Boole&ndash;De&nbsp;Morgan correspondence and Peirce also made use of differential operators in a logical context, but the exploration of these ideas has been hampered by a number of factors, not the least of which has been the lack of a syntax that was adequate to handle the complexity of expressions that evolve.

Propositions are formed on differential variables, or any combination of ordinary logical variables and differential logical variables, in the same ways that propositions are formed on ordinary logical variables alone.  For example, the proposition <math>\texttt{(} \mathrm{d}p \texttt{(} \mathrm{d}q \texttt{))}\!</math> says the same thing as  <math>\mathrm{d}p \Rightarrow \mathrm{d}q,\!</math> in other words, that there is no change in <math>p\!</math> without a change in <math>q.\!</math>

We did not yet go through the trouble to interpret this (first order) ''difference of conjunction'' fully, but were happy simply to evaluate it with respect to a single location in the universe of discourse, namely, at the point picked out by the singular proposition <math>pq,\!</math> that is, at the place where <math>p = 1\!</math> and <math>q = 1.\!</math>  This evaluation is written in the form <math>\mathrm{D}f|_{pq}\!</math> or <math>\mathrm{D}f|_{(1, 1)},\!</math> and we arrived at the locally applicable law that is stated and illustrated as follows:

We may understand the enlarged proposition <math>\mathrm{E}f\!</math> as telling us all the different ways to reach a model of the proposition <math>f\!</math> from each point of the universe <math>X.\!</math>

==Propositional Forms on Two Variables==

To broaden our experience with simple examples, let us examine the sixteen functions of concrete type <math>P \times Q \to \mathbb{B}\!</math> and abstract type <math>\mathbb{B} \times \mathbb{B} \to \mathbb{B}.\!</math>  A&nbsp;few Tables are set here that detail the actions of <math>\mathrm{E}\!</math> and <math>\mathrm{D}\!</math> on each of these functions, allowing us to view the results in several different ways.
 +
 
 +
Tables&nbsp;A1 and A2 show two ways of arranging the 16 boolean functions on two variables, giving equivalent expressions for each function in several different systems of notation.

If you think that I linger in the realm of logical difference calculus out of sheer vacillation about getting down to the differential proper, it is probably out of a prior expectation that you derive from the art or the long-engrained practice of real analysis.  But the fact is that ordinary calculus only rushes on to the sundry orders of approximation because the strain of comprehending the full import of <math>\operatorname{E}</math> and <math>\operatorname{D}</math> at once whelm over its discrete and finite powers to grasp them.  But here, in the fully serene idylls of ZOL, we find ourselves fit with the compass of a wit that is all we'd ever need to explore their effects with care.

More concretely viewed, the group as a whole pushes the set of sixteen propositions around in such a way that they fall into seven natural classes, called ''orbits''.  One says that the orbits are preserved by the action of the group.  There is an ''Orbit Lemma'' of immense utility to "those who count" which, depending on your upbringing, you may associate with the names of Burnside, Cauchy, Frobenius, or some subset or superset of these three, vouching that the number of orbits is equal to the mean number of fixed points, in other words, the total number of points (in our case, propositions) that are left unmoved by the separate operations, divided by the order of the group.  In this instance, <math>\operatorname{T}_{00}</math> operates as the group identity, fixing all 16 propositions, while the other three group elements fix 4 propositions each, and so we get: <math>\text{Number of orbits}~ = (4 + 4 + 4 + 16) \div 4 = 7.</math>  Amazing!

We have been contemplating functions of the type <math>f : X \to \mathbb{B}</math> and studying the action of the operators <math>\operatorname{E}</math> and <math>\operatorname{D}</math> on this family.  These functions, that we may identify for our present aims with propositions, inasmuch as they capture their abstract forms, are logical analogues of ''scalar potential fields''.  These are the sorts of fields that are so picturesquely presented in elementary calculus and physics textbooks by images of snow-covered hills and parties of skiers who trek down their slopes like least action heroes.  The analogous scene in propositional logic presents us with forms more reminiscent of plateaunic idylls, being all plains at one of two levels, the mesas of verity and falsity, as it were, with nary a niche to inhabit between them, restricting our options for a sporting gradient of downhill dynamics to just one of two:  standing still on level ground or falling off a bluff.
  −

We are still working well within the logical analogue of the classical finite difference calculus, taking in the novelties that the logical transmutation of familiar elements is able to bring to light.  Soon we will take up several different notions of approximation relationships that may be seen to organize the space of propositions, and these will allow us to define several different forms of differential analysis applying to propositions.  In time we will find reason to consider more general types of maps, having concrete types of the form <math>X_1 \times \ldots \times X_k \to Y_1 \times \ldots \times Y_n</math> and abstract types <math>\mathbb{B}^k \to \mathbb{B}^n.</math>  We will think of these mappings as transforming universes of discourse into themselves or into others, in short, as ''transformations of discourse''.

Before we continue with this intinerary, however, I would like to highlight another sort of differential aspect that concerns the ''boundary operator'' or the ''marked connective'' that serves as one of the two basic connectives in the cactus language for ZOL.
  −
 
  −
For example, consider the proposition <math>f\!</math> of concrete type <math>f : P \times Q \times R \to \mathbb{B}</math> and abstract type <math>f : \mathbb{B}^3 \to \mathbb{B}</math> that is written <math>\texttt{(} p, q, r \texttt{)}</math> in cactus syntax.  Taken as an assertion in what Peirce called the ''existential interpretation'', the proposition <math>\texttt{(} p, q, r \texttt{)}</math> says that just one of <math>p, q, r\!</math> is false.  It is instructive to consider this assertion in relation to the logical conjunction <math>pqr\!</math> of the same propositions.  A venn diagram of <math>\texttt{(} p, q, r \texttt{)}</math> looks like this:
  −

|}
  −
 
  −
In relation to the center cell indicated by the conjunction <math>pqr,\!</math> the region indicated by <math>\texttt{(} p, q, r \texttt{)}</math> is comprised of the adjacent or bordering cells.  Thus they are the cells that are just across the boundary of the center cell, reached as if by way of Leibniz's ''minimal changes'' from the point of origin, in this case, <math>pqr.\!</math>
  −
 
  −
More generally speaking, in a <math>k\!</math>-dimensional universe of discourse that is based on the ''alphabet'' of features <math>\mathcal{X} = \{ x_1, \ldots, x_k \},</math> the same form of boundary relationship is manifested for any cell of origin that one chooses to indicate.  One way to indicate a cell is by forming a logical conjunction of positive and negative basis features, that is, by constructing an expression of the form <math>e_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot e_k,</math> where <math>e_j = x_j ~\text{or}~ e_j = \texttt{(} x_j \texttt{)},</math> for <math>j = 1 ~\text{to}~ k.</math>  The proposition <math>\texttt{(} e_1, \ldots, e_k \texttt{)}</math> indicates the disjunctive region consisting of the cells that are just next door to <math>e_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot e_k.</math>

To see how a regular representation is constructed from the abstract operation table, select a group element from the top margin of the Table, and "consider its effects" on each of the group elements as they are listed along the left margin.  We may record these effects as Peirce usually did, as a ''logical aggregate'' of elementary dyadic relatives, that is, as a logical disjunction or boolean sum whose terms represent the ordered pairs of <math>\operatorname{input} : \operatorname{output}</math> transactions that are produced by each group element in turn.  This forms one of the two possible ''regular representations'' of the group, in this case the one that is called the ''post-regular representation'' or the ''right regular representation''.  It has long been conventional to organize the terms of this logical aggregate in the form of a matrix:

This idea of contextual definition by way of conduct transforming operators is basically the same as Jeremy Bentham's notion of ''paraphrasis'', a "method of accounting for fictions by explaining various purported terms away" (Quine, in Van Heijenoort, ''From Frege to Gödel'', p.&nbsp;216).  Today we'd call these constructions ''term models''.  This, again, is the big idea behind Schönfinkel's combinators <math>\operatorname{S}, \operatorname{K}, \operatorname{I},</math> and hence of lambda calculus, and I reckon you know where that leads.

We've been exploring the applications of a certain technique for clarifying abstruse concepts, a rough-cut version of the pragmatic maxim that I've been accustomed to refer to as the ''operationalization'' of ideas.  The basic idea is to replace the question of ''What it is'', which modest people comprehend is far beyond their powers to answer definitively any time soon, with the question of ''What it does'', which most people know at least a modicum about.

At this point we find ourselves in need of visual representations, suitable arrays of concrete pictures to anchor our more earthy intuitions and to help us keep our wits about us as we venture higher into the ever more rarefied air of abstractions.

===Proposition and Tacit Extension===
   −
I want to continue developing the basic tools of differential logic, which arose from exploring the connections between dynamics and logic, but I also wanted to give some hint of the applications that have motivated this work all along.  One of these applications is to cybernetic systems, whether we see these systems as agents or cultures, individuals or species, organisms or organizations.
+
Now that we've introduced the field picture as an aid to thinking about propositions and their analytic series, a very pleasing way of picturing the relationships among a proposition <math>f : X \to \mathbb{B},\!</math> its enlargement or shift map <math>\mathrm{E}f : \mathrm{E}X \to \mathbb{B},\!</math> and its difference map <math>\mathrm{D}f : \mathrm{E}X \to \mathbb{B}\!</math> can now be drawn.
   −
A cybernetic system has goals and actions for reaching them.  It has a state space <math>X,\!</math> giving us all of the states that the system can be in, plus it has a goal space <math>G \subseteq X,</math> the set of  states that the system "likes" to be in, in other words, the distinguished subset of possible states where the system is regarded as living, surviving, or thriving, depending on the type of goal that one has in mind for the system in question.  As for actions, there is to begin with the full set <math>\mathcal{T}</math> of all possible actions, each of which is a transformation of the form <math>T : X \to X,</math> but a given cybernetic system will most likely have but a subset of these actions available to it at any given time.  And even if we begin by thinking of actions in very general and very global terms, as arbitrarily complex transformations acting on the whole state space <math>X,\!</math> we quickly find a need to analyze and approximate them in terms of simple transformations acting locally.  The preferred measure of "simplicity" will of course vary from one paradigm of research to another.
+
To illustrate this possibility, let's return to the differential analysis of the conjunctive proposition <math>f(p, q) = pq,\!</math> giving the development a slightly different twist at the appropriate point.
   −
A generic enough picture at this stage of the game, and one that will remind us of these fundamental features of the cybernetic system even as things get far more complex, is afforded by Figure&nbsp;23.
+
The next venn diagram shows once again the proposition <math>pq,\!</math> which we now view as a scalar field &mdash; analogous to a ''potential hill'' in physics, but in logic tantamount to a ''potential plateau'' &mdash; where the shaded region indicates an elevation of 1 and the unshaded region indicates an elevation of 0.

Given a proposition <math>f : X \to \mathbb{B},\!</math> the ''tacit extension'' of <math>f\!</math> to <math>\mathrm{E}X\!</math> is denoted <math>\boldsymbol\varepsilon f : \mathrm{E}X \to \mathbb{B}~\!</math> and defined by the equation <math>\boldsymbol\varepsilon f = f,\!</math> so it's really just the same proposition residing in a bigger universe.  Tacit extensions formalize the intuitive idea that a function on a particular set of variables can be extended to a function on a superset of those variables in such a way that the new function obeys the same constraints on the old variables, with a "don't care" condition on the new variables.

==Least Action Operators==
 +
 
 +
We have been contemplating functions of the type <math>f : X \to \mathbb{B}\!</math> and studying the action of the operators <math>\mathrm{E}\!</math> and <math>\mathrm{D}\!</math> on this family.  These functions, that we may identify for our present aims with propositions, inasmuch as they capture their abstract forms, are logical analogues of ''scalar potential fields''.  These are the sorts of fields that are so picturesquely presented in elementary calculus and physics textbooks by images of snow-covered hills and parties of skiers who trek down their slopes like least action heroes.  The analogous scene in propositional logic presents us with forms more reminiscent of plateaunic idylls, being all plains at one of two levels, the mesas of verity and falsity, as it were, with nary a niche to inhabit between them, restricting our options for a sporting gradient of downhill dynamics to just one of two:  standing still on level ground or falling off a bluff.
 +
 
 +
We are still working well within the logical analogue of the classical finite difference calculus, taking in the novelties that the logical transmutation of familiar elements is able to bring to light.  Soon we will take up several different notions of approximation relationships that may be seen to organize the space of propositions, and these will allow us to define several different forms of differential analysis applying to propositions.  In time we will find reason to consider more general types of maps, having concrete types of the form <math>X_1 \times \ldots \times X_k \to Y_1 \times \ldots \times Y_n\!</math> and abstract types <math>\mathbb{B}^k \to \mathbb{B}^n.\!</math>  We will think of these mappings as transforming universes of discourse into themselves or into others, in short, as ''transformations of discourse''.
 +
 
 +
Before we continue with this intinerary, however, I would like to highlight another sort of differential aspect that concerns the ''boundary operator'' or the ''marked connective'' that serves as one of the two basic connectives in the cactus language for [[zeroth order logic]].
 +
 
 +
For example, consider the proposition <math>f\!</math> of concrete type <math>f : P \times Q \times R \to \mathbb{B}\!</math> and abstract type <math>f : \mathbb{B}^3 \to \mathbb{B}\!</math> that is written <math>\texttt{(} p, q, r \texttt{)}\!</math> in cactus syntax.  Taken as an assertion in what Peirce called the ''existential interpretation'', the proposition <math>\texttt{(} p, q, r \texttt{)}\!</math> says that just one of <math>p, q, r\!</math> is false.  It is instructive to consider this assertion in relation to the logical conjunction <math>pqr\!</math> of the same propositions.  A venn diagram of <math>\texttt{(} p, q, r \texttt{)}\!</math> looks like this:
 +
 
 +
{| align="center" cellpadding="10"
 +
| [[Image:Minimal Negation Operator (P,Q,R) ISW.jpg|500px]]
 +
|}
 +
 
 +
In relation to the center cell indicated by the conjunction <math>pqr,\!</math> the region indicated by <math>\texttt{(} p, q, r \texttt{)}\!</math> is comprised of the adjacent or bordering cells.  Thus they are the cells that are just across the boundary of the center cell, reached as if by way of Leibniz's ''minimal changes'' from the point of origin, in this case, <math>pqr.~\!</math>
 +
 
 +
More generally speaking, in a <math>k\!</math>-dimensional universe of discourse that is based on the ''alphabet'' of features <math>\mathcal{X} = \{ x_1, \ldots, x_k \},\!</math> the same form of boundary relationship is manifested for any cell of origin that one chooses to indicate.  One way to indicate a cell is by forming a logical conjunction of positive and negative basis features, that is, by constructing an expression of the form <math>e_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot e_k,\!</math> where <math>e_j = x_j ~\text{or}~ e_j = \texttt{(} x_j \texttt{)},\!</math> for <math>j = 1 ~\text{to}~ k.\!</math>  The proposition <math>\texttt{(} e_1, \ldots, e_k \texttt{)}\!</math> indicates the disjunctive region consisting of the cells that are just next door to <math>e_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot e_k.\!</math>
 +
 
 +
==Goal-Oriented Systems==
 +
 
 +
I want to continue developing the basic tools of differential logic, which arose from exploring the connections between dynamics and logic, but I also wanted to give some hint of the applications that have motivated this work all along.  One of these applications is to cybernetic systems, whether we see these systems as agents or cultures, individuals or species, organisms or organizations.
 +
 
 +
A cybernetic system has goals and actions for reaching them.  It has a state space <math>X,\!</math> giving us all of the states that the system can be in, plus it has a goal space <math>G \subseteq X,\!</math> the set of  states that the system &ldquo;likes&rdquo; to be in, in other words, the distinguished subset of possible states where the system is regarded as living, surviving, or thriving, depending on the type of goal that one has in mind for the system in question.  As for actions, there is to begin with the full set <math>\mathcal{T}\!</math> of all possible actions, each of which is a transformation of the form <math>T : X \to X,\!</math> but a given cybernetic system will most likely have but a subset of these actions available to it at any given time.  And even if we begin by thinking of actions in very general and very global terms, as arbitrarily complex transformations acting on the whole state space <math>X,\!</math> we quickly find a need to analyze and approximate them in terms of simple transformations acting locally.  The preferred measure of &ldquo;simplicity&rdquo; will of course vary from one paradigm of research to another.
 +
 
 +
A generic enough picture at this stage of the game, and one that will remind us of these fundamental features of the cybernetic system even as things get far more complex, is afforded by Figure&nbsp;23.
