| | Any style of declarative programming, also called ''logic programming'', depends on a capacity, as embodied in a programming language or other formal system, to describe the relation between problems and solutions in logical terms. A recurring problem in building this capacity is in bridging the gap between ostensibly non-logical orders and the logical orders that are used to describe and to represent them. For instance, to mention just a couple of the most pressing cases, and the ones that are currently proving to be the most resistant to a complete analysis, one has the orders of dynamic evolution and rhetorical transition that manifest themselves in the process of inquiry and in the communication of its results. | | Any style of declarative programming, also called ''logic programming'', depends on a capacity, as embodied in a programming language or other formal system, to describe the relation between problems and solutions in logical terms.

To describe this language, the standard devices of formal grammars and formal language theory are more than adequate, but this only raises the next question: What sorts of devices are exactly adequate, and fit the task to a "T"? The ultimate desire is to turn the tables on the order of description, and so begins a process of eversion that evolves to the point of asking: To what extent can the language capture the essential features and laws of its own grammar and describe the active principles of its own generation?

| | In order to speak to these questions, I have to express what a grammar says about a language in terms of what a language can say on its own. In effect, it is necessary to analyze the kinds of meaningful statements that grammars are capable of making about languages in general and to relate them to the kinds of meaningful statements that the syntactic ''sentences'' of the cactus language might be interpreted as making about the very same topics. So far in the present discussion, the sentences of the cactus language do not make any meaningful statements at all, much less any meaningful statements about languages and their constitutions. As of yet, these sentences subsist in the form of purely abstract, formal, and uninterpreted combinatorial constructions. | | In order to speak to these questions, I have to express what a grammar says about a language in terms of what a language can say on its own.

| | A ''stricture'' is a specification of a certain set in a certain place, relative to a number of other sets, yet to be specified. It is assumed that one knows enough to tell if two strictures are equivalent as pieces of information, but any more determinate indications, like names for the places that are mentioned in the stricture, or bounds on the number of places that are involved, are regarded as being extraneous impositions, outside the proper concern of the definition, no matter how convenient they are found to be for a particular discussion.

| − | Table 13 illustrates the ''existential interpretation'' of cactus graphs and cactus expressions by providing English translations for a few of the most basic and commonly occurring forms.
| + | ===Aug 2000 • Extensions Of Logical Graphs=== |
| | | | |
| − | Even though I do most of my thinking in the existential interpretation, I will continue to speak of these forms as ''logical graphs'', because I think it is an important fact about them that the formal validity of the axioms and theorems is not dependent on the choice between the entitative and the existential interpretations.
| + | ====CG List • Lost Links==== |
| | | | |
| − | The first extension is the ''reflective extension of logical graphs'' (RefLog). It is obtained by generalizing the negation operator "<math>\texttt{(~)}</math>" in a certain way, calling "<math>\texttt{(~)}</math>" the ''controlled'', ''moderated'', or ''reflective'' negation operator of order 1, then adding another such operator for each finite <math>k = 2, 3, \ldots .</math>

| | | | |
| − | In sum, these operators are symbolized by bracketed argument lists as follows: "<math>\texttt{(~)}</math>", "<math>\texttt{(~,~)}</math>", "<math>\texttt{(~,~,~)}</math>", …, where the number of slots is the order of the reflective negation operator in question.

| − | This last expression is the ABE of the input expression.
| |
| − | It can be transcribed into ordinary logical language as:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | either girl and
| |
| − | | either female and
| |
| − | | either child and true
| |
| − | | or not child and false
| |
| − | | or not female and false
| |
| − | | or not girl and
| |
| − | | either female and
| |
| − | | either child and false
| |
| − | | or not child and true
| |
| − | | or not female and true
| |
| − | | |
| − | The expression "((girl , female child))" is sufficiently evaluated
| |
| − | by considering its logical values on the coordinate tuples of %B%^3,
| |
| − | or its indications on the cells of the associated venn diagram that
| |
| − | depicts the universe of discourse, namely, on these eight arguments:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <1, 1, 1> = girl female child ,
| |
| − | <1, 1, 0> = girl female (child),
| |
| − | <1, 0, 1> = girl (female) child ,
| |
| − | <1, 0, 0> = girl (female)(child),
| |
| − | <0, 1, 1> = (girl) female child ,
| |
| − | <0, 1, 0> = (girl) female (child),
| |
| − | <0, 0, 1> = (girl)(female) child ,
| |
| − | <0, 0, 0> = (girl)(female)(child).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The ABE output expression tells us the logical values of
| |
| − | the input expression on each of these arguments, doing so
| |
| − | by attaching the values to the leaves of a tree, and acting
| |
| − | as an "efficient" or "lazy" evaluator in the sense that the
| |
| − | process that generates the tree follows each path only up to
| |
| − | the point in the tree where it can determine the values on the
| |
| − | entire subtree beyond that point. Thus, the ABE tree tells us:
| |
| − | | |
| − | girl female child -> 1
| |
| − | girl female (child) -> 0
| |
| − | girl (female) -> 0
| |
| − | (girl) female child -> 0
| |
| − | (girl) female (child) -> 1
| |
| − | (girl)(female) -> 1
| |
| − | | |
| − | Picking out the interpretations that yield the truth of the expression,
| |
| − | and expanding the corresponding partial argument tuples, we arrive at
| |
| − | the following interpretations that satisfy the input expression:
| |
| − | | |
| − | girl female child -> 1
| |
| − | (girl) female (child) -> 1
| |
| − | (girl)(female) child -> 1
| |
| − | (girl)(female)(child) -> 1
| |
| − | | |
| − | In sum, if it's a female and a child, then it's a girl,
| |
| − | and if it's either not a female or not a child or both,
| |
| − | then it's not a girl.

| − | | |
| − | By way of providing a simple illustration of Cook's Theorem,
| |
| − | that "Propositional Satisfiability is NP-Complete", here is
| |
| − | an exposition of one way to translate Turing Machine set-ups
| |
| − | into propositional expressions, employing the Ref Log Syntax
| |
| − | for Prop Calc that I described in a couple of earlier notes:

| − | | |
| − | Notation:

| − | | |
| − | Stilt(k) = Space and Time Limited Turing Machine,
| |
| − | with k units of space and k units of time.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Stunt(k) = Space and Time Limited Turing Machine,
| |
| − | for computing the parity of a bit string,
| |
| − | with Number of Tape cells of input equal to k.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I will follow the pattern of the discussion in the book of
| |
| − | Herbert Wilf, 'Algorithms & Complexity' (1986), pages 188-201,
| |
| − | but translate into Ref Log, which is more efficient with respect
| |
| − | to the number of propositional clauses that are required.

| − | The TM has a "finite automaton" (FA) as its component.
| |
| − | Let us refer to this particular FA by the name of "M".
| |
| − | | |
| − | The "tape-head" (that is, the "read-unit") will be called "H".

| − | | |
| − | In order to consider how the finitely "stilted" rendition of this TM

| |
| − | which is really not a true TM anymore but a finite automaton in disguise.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In this example, for the sake of a minimal illustration, we choose k = 2,

| |
| − | are occupied with bof and eof marks "#", this amounts to only one digit
| |

| |
| − | if I work up to that level of complexity in a more gracile graduated
| |
| − | manner. So let us return to our Example in this gradual progress to
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | One section of the Theme One program has a suite of utilities that fall
| |
| − | under the title "Theme One Study" ("To Study", or just "TOS" for short).
| |
| − | To Study is to read and to parse a so-called and a generally so-suffixed
| |
| − | "log" file, and then to conjoin what is called a "query", which is really
| |
| − | just an additional propositional expression that imposes a further logical
| |
| − | constraint on the input expression.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Figure roughly sketches the conjuncts of the graph-theoretic
| |
| − | data structure that the parser would commit to memory on reading
| |
| − | the appropriate log file that contains the text along the bottom.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I will now explain the various sorts of things that the TOS utility
| |
| − | can do with the log file that describes the universe of discourse in
| |
| − | our present Example.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Theme One Study is built around a suite of four successive generators
| |
| − | of "normal forms" for propositional expressions, just to use that term
| |
| − | in a very approximate way. The functions that compute these normal forms
| |
| − | are called "Model", "Tenor", "Canon", and "Sense", and so we may refer to
| |
| − | to their text-style outputs as the "mod", "ten", "can", and "sen" files.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Though it could be any propositional expression on the same vocabulary
| |
| − | $A$ = {"boy", "child", "female", "girl", "human", "male"}, more usually
| |
| − | the query is a simple conjunction of one or more positive features that
| |
| − | we want to focus on or perhaps to filter out of the logical model space.
| |
| − | On our first run through this Example, we take the log file proposition
| |
| − | as it is, with no extra riders.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | Procedural Note. TO Study Model displays a running tab of how much
| |
| − | | free memory space it has left. On some of the harder problems that
| |
| − | | you may think of to give it, Model may run out of free memory and
| |
| − | | terminate, abnormally exiting Theme One. Sometimes it helps to:
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 1. Rephrase the problem in logically equivalent
| |
| − | | but rhetorically increasedly felicitous ways.
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 2. Think of additional facts that are taken for granted but not
| |
| − | | made explicit and that cannot be logically inferred by Model.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After Model has finished, it is ready to write out its mod file,
| |
| − | which you may choose to show on the screen or save to a named file.
| |
| − | Mod files are usually too long to see (or to care to see) all at once
| |
| − | on the screen, so it is very often best to save them for later replay.
| |
| − | In our Example the Model function yields a mod file that looks like so:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Model Output and
| |
| − | Mod File Example

| |
| − | | |
| − | Counting the stars "*" that indicate true interpretations
| |
| − | and the bars "-" that indicate false interpretations of
| |
| − | the input formula, we can see that the Model function,
| |
| − | out of the 64 possible interpretations, has actually
| |
| − | gone through the work of making just 14 evaluations,
| |
| − | all in order to find the 4 models that are allowed
| |
| − | by the input definitions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To be clear about what this output means, the starred paths
| |
| − | indicate all of the complete specifications of objects in the
| |
| − | universe of discourse, that is, all of the consistent feature
| |
| − | conjunctions of maximum length, as permitted by the definitions
| |
| − | that are given in the log file.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Let's take a little break from the Example in progress
| |
| − | and look at where we are and what we have been doing from
| |
| − | computational, logical, and semiotic perspectives. Because,
| |
| − | after all, as is usually the case, we should not let our focus
| |
| − | and our fascination with this particular Example prevent us from
| |
| − | recognizing it, and all that we do with it, as just an Example of
| |
| − | much broader paradigms and predicaments and principles, not to say
| |
| − | but a glimmer of ultimately more concernful and fascinating objects.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I chart the progression that we have just passed through in this way:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | Parse
| |
| − | | Sign A o-------------->o Sign 1

| − | | Sign B o<--------------o Sign 2
| |
| − | | Verse
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | Figure. Computation As Sign Transformation
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the present case, the Object is an objective situation
| |
| − | or a state of affairs, in effect, a particular pattern of
| |
| − | feature concurrences occurring to us in that world through
| |
| − | which we find ourselves most frequently faring, wily nily,
| |
| − | and the Signs are different tokens and different types of
| |
| − | data structures that we somehow or other find it useful
| |
| − | to devise or to discover for the sake of representing
| |
| − | current objects to ourselves on a recurring basis.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But not all signs, not even signs of a single object, are alike
| |
| − | in every other respect that one might name, not even with respect
| |
| − | to their powers of relating, significantly, to that common object.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And that is what our whole business of computation busies itself about,
| |
| − | when it minds its business best, that is, transmuting signs into signs
| |
| − | in ways that augment their powers of relating significantly to objects.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We have seen how the Model function and the mod output format
| |
| − | indicate all of the complete specifications of objects in the
| |
| − | universe of discourse, that is, all of the consistent feature
| |
| − | conjunctions of maximal specificity that are permitted by the
| |
| − | constraints or the definitions that are given in the log file.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To help identify these specifications of particular cells in
| |
| − | the universe of discourse, the next function and output format,
| |
| − | called "Tenor", edits the mod file to give only the true paths,
| |
| − | in effect, the "positive models", that are by default what we
| |
| − | usually mean when we say "models", and not the "anti-models"
| |
| − | or the "negative models" that fail to satisfy the formula
| |
| − | in question.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the present Example the Tenor function
| |
| − | generates a Ten file that looks like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tenor Output and
| |
| − | Ten File Example
| |
| − | o-------------------o
| |
| − | | male |
| |
| − | | (female ) |
| |
| − | | (girl ) |
| |
| − | | child |
| |
| − | | boy |
| |
| − | | human * | <1>
| |
| − | | (child ) |
| |
| − | | (boy ) * | <2>
| |
| − | | (male ) |
| |
| − | | female |
| |
| − | | (boy ) |
| |
| − | | child |
| |
| − | | girl |
| |
| − | | human * | <3>
| |
| − | | (child ) |
| |
| − | | (girl ) * | <4>
| |
| − | o-------------------o
| |
| − | | |
| − | As I said, the Tenor function just abstracts a transcript of the models,
| |
| − | that is, the satisfying interpretations, that were already interspersed
| |
| − | throughout the complete Model output. These specifications, or feature
| |
| − | conjunctions, with the positive and the negative features listed in the
| |
| − | order of their actual budding on the "arboreal boolean expansion" twigs,
| |
| − | may be gathered and arranged in this antherypulogical flowering bouquet:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. male (female ) (girl ) child boy human *
| |
| − | 2. male (female ) (girl ) (child ) (boy ) *
| |
| − | 3. (male ) female (boy ) child girl human *
| |
| − | 4. (male ) female (boy ) (child ) (girl ) *
| |
| − | | |
| − | Notice that Model, as reflected in this abstract, did not consider
| |
| − | the six positive features in the same order along each path. This
| |
| − | is because the algorithm was designed to proceed opportunistically
| |
| − | in its attempt to reduce the original proposition through a series
| |
| − | of case-analytic considerations and the resulting simplifications.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Notice, too, that Model is something of a lazy evaluator, quitting work
| |
| − | when and if a value is determined by less than the full set of variables.
| |
| − | This is the reason why paths <2> and <4> are not ostensibly of the maximum
| |
| − | length. According to this lazy mode of understanding, any path that is not
| |
| − | specified on a set of features really stands for the whole bundle of paths
| |
| − | that are derived by freely varying those features. Thus, specifications
| |
| − | <2> and <4> summarize four models altogether, with the logical choice
| |
| − | between "human" and "not human" being left open at the point where
| |
| − | they leave off their branches in the releavent deciduous tree.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The last two functions in the Study section, "Canon" and "Sense",
| |
| − | extract further derivatives of the normal forms that are produced
| |
| − | by Model and Tenor. Both of these functions take the set of model
| |
| − | paths and simply throw away the negative labels. You may think of
| |
| − | these as the "rose colored glasses" or "job interview" normal forms,
| |
| − | in that they try to say everything that's true, so long as it can be
| |
| − | expressed in positive terms. Generally, this would mean losing a lot
| |
| − | of information, and the result could no longer be expected to have the
| |
| − | property of remaining logically equivalent to the original proposition.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Fortunately, however, it seems that this type of positive projection of
| |
| − | the whole truth is just what is possible, most needed, and most clear in
| |
| − | many of the "natural" examples, that is, in examples that arise from the
| |
| − | domains of natural language and natural conceptual kinds. In these cases,
| |
| − | where most of the logical features are redundantly coded, for example, in
| |
| − | the way that "adult" = "not child" and "child" = "not adult", the positive
| |
| − | feature bearing redacts are often sufficiently expressive all by themselves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Canon merely censors its printing of the negative labels as it traverses the
| |
| − | model tree. This leaves the positive labels in their original columns of the
| |
| − | outline form, giving it a slightly skewed appearance. This can be misleading
| |
| − | unless you already know what you are looking for. However, this Canon format
| |
| − | is computationally quick, and frequently suffices, especially if you already
| |
| − | have a likely clue about what to expect in the way of a question's outcome.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the present Example the Canon function
| |
| − | generates a Can file that looks like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Canon Output and
| |

| − | | child |
| |
| − | | girl |
| |
| − | | human |
| |
| − | o-------------------o
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Sense function does the extra work that is required
| |
| − | to place the positive labels of the model tree at their
| |
| − | proper level in the outline.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the present Example the Sense function
| |
| − | generates a Sen file that looks like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Sense Output and
| |

| |
| − | | child |
| |
| − | | girl |
| |
| − | | human |
| |
| − | o-------------------o
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Canon and Sense outlines for this Example illustrate a certain
| |
| − | type of general circumstance that needs to be noted at this point.
| |
| − | Recall the model paths or the feature specifications that were
| |
| − | numbered <2> and <4> in the listing of the output for Tenor.
| |
| − | These paths, in effect, reflected Model's discovery that
| |
| − | the venn diagram cells for male or female non-children
| |
| − | and male or female non-humans were not excluded by
| |
| − | the definitions that were given in the Log file.
| |
| − | In the abstracts given by Canon and Sense, the
| |
| − | specifications <2> and <4> have been subsumed,
| |
| − | or absorbed unmarked, under the general topics
| |
| − | of their respective genders, male or female.
| |
| − | This happens because no purely positive
| |
| − | features were supplied to distinguish
| |
| − | the non-child and non-human cases.
| |
| − | | |
| − | That completes the discussion of
| |
| − | this six-dimensional Example.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Nota Bene, for possible future use. In the larger current of work
| |
| − | with respect to which this meander of a conduit was initially both
| |
| − | diversionary and tributary, before those high and dry regensquirm
| |
| − | years when it turned into an intellectual interglacial oxbow lake,
| |
| − | I once had in mind a scape in which expressions in a definitional
| |
| − | lattice were ordered according to their simplicity on some scale
| |
| − | or another, and in this setting the word "sense" was actually an
| |
| − | acronym for "semantically equivalent next-simplest expression".
| |
| − | | |
| − | | If this is starting to sound a little bit familiar,
| |
| − | | it may be because the relationship between the two
| |
| − | | kinds of pictures of propositions, namely:
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 1. Propositions about things in general, here,
| |
| − | | about the times when certain facts are true,
| |
| − | | having the form of functions f : X -> B,
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 2. Propositions about binary codes, here, about
| |
| − | | the bit-vector labels on venn diagram cells,
| |
| − | | having the form of functions f' : B^k -> B,
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | is an epically old story, one that I, myself,
| |
| − | | have related one or twice upon a time before,
| |
| − | | to wit, at least, at the following two cites:
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | http://suo.ieee.org/email/msg01251.html
| |
| − | | http://suo.ieee.org/email/msg01293.html
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | There, and now here, once more, and again, it may be observed
| |
| − | | that the relation is one whereby the proposition f : X -> B,
| |
| − | | the one about things and times and mores in general, factors
| |
| − | | into a coding function c : X -> B^k, followed by a derived
| |
| − | | proposition f' : B^k -> B that judges the resulting codes.
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | f
| |
| − | | X o------>o B
| |
| − | | \ ^
| |
| − | | c = <x_1, ..., x_k> \ / f'
| |
| − | | v /
| |
| − | | o
| |
| − | | B^k
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | You may remember that this was supposed to illustrate
| |
| − | | the "factoring" of a proposition f : X -> B = {0, 1}
| |
| − | | into the composition f'(c(x)), where c : X -> B^k is
| |
| − | | the "coding" of each x in X as an k-bit string in B^k,
| |
| − | | and where f' is the mapping of codes into a co-domain
| |
| − | | that we interpret as t-f-values, B = {0, 1} = {F, T}.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In short, there is the standard equivocation ("systematic ambiguity"?) as to
| |
| − | whether we are talking about the "applied" and concretely typed proposition
| |
| − | f : X -> B or the "pure" and abstractly typed proposition f' : B^k -> B.
| |
| − | Or we can think of the latter object as the approximate code icon of
| |
| − | the former object.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Anyway, these types of formal objects are the sorts of things that
| |
| − | I take to be the denotational objects of propositional expressions.
| |
| − | These objects, along with their invarious and insundry mathematical
| |
| − | properties, are the orders of things that I am talking about when
| |
| − | I refer to the "invariant structures in these objects themselves".
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Invariant" means "invariant under a suitable set of transformations",
| |
| − | in this case the translations between various languages that preserve
| |
| − | the objects and the structures in question. In extremest generality,
| |
| − | this is what universal constructions in category theory are all about.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In summation, the functions f : X -> B and f' : B* -> B have invariant, formal,
| |
| − | mathematical, objective properties that any adequate language might eventually
| |
| − | evolve to express, only some languages express them more obscurely than others.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To be perfectly honest, I continue to be surprised that anybody in this group
| |
| − | has trouble with this. There are perfectly apt and familiar examples in the
| |
| − | contrast between roman numerals and arabic numerals, or the contrast between
| |
| − | redundant syntaxes, like those that use the pentalphabet {~, &, v, =>, <=>},
| |
| − | and trimmer syntaxes, like those used in existential and conceptual graphs.
| |
| − | Every time somebody says "Let's take {~, &, v, =>, <=>} as an operational
| |
| − | basis for logic" it's just like that old joke that mathematicians tell on
| |
| − | engineers where the ingenue in question says "1 is a prime, 2 is a prime,
| |
| − | 3 is a prime, 4 is a prime, ..." -- and I know you think that I'm being
| |
| − | hyperbolic, but I'm really only up to parabolas here ...
| |
| − | | |
| − | I have already refined my criticism so that it does not apply to
| |
| − | the spirit of FOL or KIF or whatever, but only to the letters of
| |
| − | specific syntactic proposals. There is a fact of the matter as
| |
| − | to whether a concrete language provides a clean or a cluttered
| |
| − | basis for representing the identified set of formal objects.
| |
| − | And it shows up in pragmatic realities like the efficiency
| |
| − | of real time concept formation, concept use, learnability,
| |
| − | reasoning power, and just plain good use of real time.
| |
| − | These are the dire consequences that I learned in my
| |
| − | very first tries at mathematically oriented theorem
| |
| − | automation, and the only factor that has obscured
| |
| − | them in mainstream work since then is the speed
| |
| − | with which folks can now do all of the same
| |
| − | old dumb things that they used to do on
| |
| − | their way to kludging out the answers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It seems to be darn near impossible to explain to the
| |
| − | centurion all of the neat stuff that he's missing by
| |
| − | sticking to his old roman numerals. He just keeps
| |
| − | on reckoning that what he can't count must be of
| |
| − | no account at all. There is way too much stuff
| |
| − | that these original syntaxes keep us from even
| |
| − | beginning to discuss, like differential logic,
| |
| − | just for starters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Our next Example illustrates the use of the Cactus Language
| |
| − | for representing "absolute" and "relative" partitions, also
| |
| − | known as "complete" and "contingent" classifications of the
| |
| − | universe of discourse, all of which amounts to divvying it
| |
| − | up into mutually exclusive regions, exhaustive or not, as
| |
| − | one frequently needs in situations involving a genus and
| |
| − | its sundry species, and frequently pictures in the form
| |
| − | of a venn diagram that looks just like a "pie chart".
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example. Partition, Genus & Species
| |
| − | | |
| − | The idea that one needs for expressing partitions
| |
| − | in cactus expressions can be summed up like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | If the propositional expression
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | "( p , q , r , ... )"
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | means that just one of
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | p, q, r, ... is false,
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | then the propositional expression
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | "((p),(q),(r), ... )"
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | must mean that just one of
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | (p), (q), (r), ... is false,
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | in other words, that just one of
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | p, q, r, ... is true.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Thus we have an efficient means to express and to enforce
| |
| − | a partition of the space of models, in effect, to maintain
| |
| − | the condition that a number of features or propositions are
| |
| − | to be held in mutually exclusive and exhaustive disjunction.
| |
| − | This supplies a much needed bridge between the binary domain
| |
| − | of two values and any other domain with a finite number of
| |
| − | feature values.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another variation on this theme allows one to maintain the
| |
| − | subsumption of many separate species under an explicit genus.
| |
| − | To see this, let us examine the following form of expression:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ( q , ( q_1 ) , ( q_2 ) , ( q_3 ) ).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now consider what it would mean for this to be true. We see two cases:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. If the proposition q is true, then exactly one of the
| |
| − | propositions (q_1), (q_2), (q_3) must be false, and so
| |
| − | just one of the propositions q_1, q_2, q_3 must be true.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. If the proposition q is false, then every one of the
| |
| − | propositions (q_1), (q_2), (q_2) must be true, and so
| |
| − | each one of the propositions q_1, q_2, q_3 must be false.
| |
| − | In short, if q is false then all of the other q's are also.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Figures 1 and 2 illustrate this type of situation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Figure 1 is the venn diagram of a 4-dimensional universe of discourse
| |
| − | X = [q, q_1, q_2, q_3], conventionally named after the gang of four
| |
| − | logical features that generate it. Strictly speaking, X is made up
| |
| − | of two layers, the position space X of abstract type %B%^4, and the
| |
| − | proposition space X^ = (X -> %B%) of abstract type %B%^4 -> %B%,
| |
| − | but it is commonly lawful enough to sign the signature of both
| |
| − | spaces with the same X, and thus to give the power of attorney
| |
| − | for the propositions to the so-indicted position space thereof.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Figure 1 also makes use of the convention whereby the regions
| |
| − | or the subsets of the universe of discourse that correspond
| |
| − | to the basic features q, q_1, q_2, q_3 are labelled with
| |
| − | the parallel set of upper case letters Q, Q_1, Q_2, Q_3.

| − | Example. Partition, Genus & Species (cont.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Last time we considered in general terms how the forms
| |
| − | of complete partition and contingent partition operate
| |
| − | to maintain mutually disjoint and possibly exhaustive
| |
| − | categories of positions in a universe of discourse.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This time we contemplate another concrete Example of
| |
| − | near minimal complexity, designed to demonstrate how
| |
| − | the forms of partition and subsumption can interact
| |
| − | in structuring a space of feature specifications.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In this Example, we describe a universe of discourse
| |
| − | in terms of the following vocabulary of five features:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | L. living_thing
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | N. non_living
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | A. animal
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | V. vegetable
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | M. mineral
| |
| − | | |
| − | Let us construe these features as being subject to four constraints:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | 1. Everything is either a living_thing or non_living, but not both.
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 2. Everything is either animal, vegetable, or mineral,
| |
| − | | but no two of these together.
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 3. A living_thing is either animal or vegetable, but not both,
| |
| − | | and everything animal or vegetable is a living_thing.
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 4. Everything mineral is non_living.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These notions and constructions are expressed in the Log file shown below:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Logical Input File
| |
| − | o-------------------------------------------------o
| |
| − | | |
| |
| − | | ( living_thing , non_living ) |
| |

| |

| |
| − | | |
| |
| − | | ( living_thing ,( animal ),( vegetable )) |
| |
| − | | |
| |
| − | | ( mineral ( non_living )) |
| |
| − | | |
| |
| − | o-------------------------------------------------o
| |
| − | | |
| − | The cactus expression in this file is the expression
| |
| − | of a "zeroth order theory" (ZOT), one that can be
| |
| − | paraphrased in more ordinary language to say:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Translation
| |

| |
| − | | |

| − | | |

| − | | par : living_thing -> {animal, vegetable} |
| |
| − | | |
| |
| − | | mineral => non_living |
| |
| − | | |
| |
| − | o-------------------------------------------------o
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here, "par : all -> {p, q, r}" is short for an assertion
| |
| − | that the universe as a whole is partitioned into subsets
| |
| − | that correspond to the features p, q, r.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, "par : q -> {r, s}" asserts that "Q partitions into R and S.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is probably enough just to list the outputs of Model, Tenor, and Sense
| |
| − | when run on the preceding Log file. Using the same format and labeling as
| |

| |
| − | that were imposed by the logical input file.

| − | Example. Molly's World
| |
| − | | |
| − | I think that we are finally ready to tackle a more respectable example.
| |
| − | The Example known as "Molly's World" is borrowed from the literature on
| |
| − | computational learning theory, adapted with a few changes from the example
| |
| − | called "Molly’s Problem" in the paper "Learning With Hints" by Dana Angluin.
| |
| − | By way of setting up the problem, I quote Angluin's motivational description:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | Imagine that you have become acquainted with an alien named Molly from the
| |
| − | | planet Ornot, who is currently employed in a day-care center. She is quite
| |
| − | | good at propositional logic, but a bit weak on knowledge of Earth. So you
| |
| − | | decide to formulate the beginnings of a propositional theory to help her
| |
| − | | label things in her immediate environment.
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | Angluin, Dana, "Learning With Hints", pages 167-181, in:
| |
| − | | David Haussler & Leonard Pitt (eds.), 'Proceedings of the 1988 Workshop
| |
| − | | on Computational Learning Theory', Morgan Kaufmann, San Mateo, CA, 1989.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The purpose of this quaint pretext is, of course, to make sure that the
| |
| − | reader appreciates the constraints of the problem: that no extra savvy
| |
| − | is fair, all facts must be presumed or deduced on the immediate premises.
| |
| − | | |
| − | My use of this example is not directly relevant to the purposes of the
| |
| − | discussion from which it is taken, so I simply give my version of it
| |
| − | without comment on those issues.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here is my rendition of the initial knowledge base delimiting Molly’s World:
| |
| − | | |

| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | All of the logical forms that are used in the preceding Log file
| |
| − | will probably be familiar from earlier discussions. The purpose
| |
| − | of one or two constructions may, however, be a little obscure,
| |
| − | so I will insert a few words of additional explanation here:
| |
| − | | |
| − | The rule "( bike large_size )", for example, merely
| |
| − | says that nothing can be both a bike and large_size.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The rule "( three_wheels one_seat pedals ,( trike ))" says that anything
| |
| − | with all the features of three_wheels, one_seat, and pedals is excluded
| |
| − | from being anything but a trike. In short, anything with just those
| |
| − | three features is equivalent to a trike.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Recall that the form "( p , q )" may be interpreted to assert either
| |
| − | the exclusive disjunction or the logical inequivalence of p and q.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The rules have been stated in this particular way simply
| |
| − | to imitate the style of rules in the reference example.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This last point does bring up an important issue, the question
| |
| − | of "rhetorical" differences in expression and their potential
| |
| − | impact on the "pragmatics" of computation. Unfortunately,
| |
| − | I will have to abbreviate my discussion of this topic for
| |
| − | now, and only mention in passing the following facts.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Logically equivalent expressions, even though they must lead
| |
| − | to logically equivalent normal forms, may have very different
| |
| − | characteristics when it comes to the efficiency of processing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For instance, consider the following four forms:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | 1. (( p , q ))
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 2. ( p ,( q ))
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 3. (( p ), q )
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 4. (( p , q ))
| |
| − | | |
| − | All of these are equally succinct ways of maintaining that
| |
| − | p is logically equivalent to q, yet each can have different
| |
| − | effects on the route that Model takes to arrive at an answer.
| |
| − | Apparently, some equalities are more equal than others.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These effects occur partly because the algorithm chooses to make cases
| |
| − | of variables on a basis of leftmost shallowest first, but their impact
| |
| − | can be complicated by the interactions that each expression has with
| |
| − | the context that it occupies. The main lesson to take away from all
| |
| − | of this, at least, for the time being, is that it is probably better
| |
| − | not to bother too much about these problems, but just to experiment
| |
| − | with different ways of expressing equivalent pieces of information
| |
| − | until you get a sense of what works best in various situations.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I think that you will be happy to see only the
| |
| − | ultimate Sense of Molly’s World, so here it is:

| |
| − | | |
| − | DM: This, again, is an example of how real issues of ontology are
| |
| − | so often trivialized at the expense of technicalities. I just
| |
| − | had a burger, some fries, and a Coke. I would say all that was
| |
| − | non-living and non-mineral. A virus, I believe is non-animal,
| |
| − | non-vegetable, but living (and non-mineral). Teeth, shells,
| |
| − | and bones are virtually pure mineral, but living. These are
| |
| − | the kinds of issues that are truly "ontological," in my
| |
| − | opinion. You are not the only one to push them into

| |
| − | discussion of "18-wheelers" in John Sowa's book.

| |
| − | of "what is" in so many variables, more or less, publish it in a book or
| |
| − | a paper, and then folks will tell you that they dispute each and every
| |
| − | thing that you have just said, and it won't really matter all that much
| |
| − | how complex it is or how subtle you are. that has been the way of all
| |
| − | ontology for about as long as anybody can remember or even read about.
| |
| − | me? i don't have sufficient arrogance to be an ontologist, and you
| |
| − | know that's saying a lot, as i can't even imagine a way to convince
| |
| − | myself that i believe i know "what is", really and truly for sure
| |
| − | like some folks just seem to do. so i am working to improve our
| |
| − | technical ability to do logic, which is mostly a job of shooting
| |

| − | Example. Molly's World (cont.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | In preparation for a contingently possible future discussion,
| |
| − | I need to attach a few parting thoughts to the case workup
| |
| − | of Molly's World that may not seem terribly relevant to
| |
| − | the present setting, but whose pertinence I hope will
| |
| − | become clearer in time.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The logical paradigm from which this Example was derived is that
| |
| − | of "Zeroth Order Horn Clause Theories". The clauses at issue
| |
| − | in these theories are allowed to be of just three kinds:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | 1. p & q & r & ... => z
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 2. z
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 3. ~[p & q & r & ...]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here, the proposition letters "p", "q", "r", ..., "z"
| |
| − | are restricted to being single positive features, not
| |
| − | themselves negated or otherwise complex expressions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the Cactus Language or Existential Graph syntax
| |
| − | these forms would take on the following appearances:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | 1. ( p q r ... ( z ))
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | 2. z

| − | The style of deduction in Horn clause logics is essentially
| |
| − | proof-theoretic in character, with the main burden of proof
| |
| − | falling on implication relations ("=>") and on "projective"
| |
| − | forms of inference, that is, information-losing inferences
| |
| − | like modus ponens and resolution. Cf. [Llo], [MaW].
| |
| − | | |
| − | In contrast, the method used here is substantially model-theoretic,
| |
| − | the stress being to start from more general forms of expression for
| |
| − | laying out facts (for example, distinctions, equations, partitions)
| |
| − | and to work toward results that maintain logical equivalence with
| |
| − | their origins.
| |
| − | | |
| − | What all of this has to do with the output above is this:
| |
| − | >From the perspective that is adopted in the present work,
| |
| − | almost any theory, for example, the one that is founded
| |
| − | on the postulates of Molly's World, will have far more
| |
| − | models than the implicational and inferential mode of
| |
| − | reasoning is designed to discover. We will be forced
| |
| − | to confront them, however, if we try to run Model on
| |
| − | a large set of implications.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The typical Horn clause interpreter gets around this
| |
| − | difficulty only by a stratagem that takes clauses to
| |
| − | mean something other than what they say, that is, by
| |
| − | distorting the principles of semantics in practice.
| |
| − | Our Model, on the other hand, has no such finesse.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This explains why it was necessary to impose the
| |
| − | prerequisite "object" constraint on the Log file
| |
| − | for Molly's World. It supplied no more than what
| |
| − | we usually take for granted, in order to obtain
| |
| − | a set of models that we would normally think of
| |
| − | as being the intended import of the definitions.

| − | The propositional calculus based on the boundary operator, that is,
| |
| − | the multigrade logical connective of the form "( , , , ... )" can be
| |
| − | interpreted in a way that resembles the logic of activation states and
| |
| − | competition constraints in certain neural network models. One way to do
| |
| − | this is by interpreting the blank or unmarked state as the resting state
| |
| − | of a neural pool, the bound or marked state as its activated state, and
| |
| − | by representing a mutually inhibitory pool of neurons p, q, r by means
| |
| − | of the expression "( p , q , r )". To illustrate this possibility,
| |
| − | I transcribe into cactus language expressions a notorious example
| |
| − | from the "parallel distributed processing" (PDP) paradigm [McR]
| |

| − | Problem Statement. Four people with different nationalities live in the
| |
| − | first four houses of a street. They practice four distinct professions,
| |
| − | and each of them has a favorite animal, all of them different. The four
| |
| − | houses are painted different colors. The following facts are known:

| − | | |
| − | | 1. The Englander lives in the first house on the left.
| |
| − | | 2. The doctor lives in the second house.
| |
| − | | 3. The third house is painted red.
| |
| − | | 4. The zebra is a favorite in the fourth house.
| |
| − | | 5. The person in the first house has a dog.
| |
| − | | 6. The Japanese lives in the third house.
| |
| − | | 7. The red house is on the left of the yellow one.
| |
| − | | 8. They breed snails in the house to right of the doctor.
| |
| − | | 9. The Englander lives next to the green house.
| |
| − | | 10. The fox is in the house next to to the diplomat.
| |
| − | | 11. The Spaniard likes zebras.
| |
| − | | 12. The Japanese is a painter.
| |
| − | | 13. The Italian lives in the green house.
| |
| − | | 14. The violinist lives in the yellow house.
| |
| − | | 15. The dog is a pet in the blue house.
| |
| − | | 16. The doctor keeps a fox.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The problem is to find all of the assignments of
| |
| − | features to houses that satisfy these requirements.

| |
| − | match for the kinds of revelation that are common hereabouts -- I would
| |

| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | DM: Thanks for both the original and additional response. I'm not trying to
| |
| − | single you out, as I have been picking on various postings in a similar
| |
| − | manner ever since I started contributing to this discussion. I agree with
| |
| − | you that the task of this working group is non-trivially difficult. In fact,
| |
| − | I believe we are still a long way from a clear and useful agreement about what
| |
| − | constitutes "upper" ontology, and what it would mean to standardize it. However,
| |
| − | I don't agree that the only place to make progress is in tiny domains of things.
| |
| − | I've contributed the thought that a fundamental, upper-level concept is the
| |
| − | concept of system, and that that would be a good place to begin. And I'll
| |
| − | never be able to refrain from evaluating the content as well as the form
| |
| − | of any examples presented for consideration here. Probably should
| |
| − | accompany these comments with a ;-)
| |
| − | | |
| − | There will never be a standard universal ontology
| |
| − | of the absolute essential impertubable monolithic
| |
| − | variety that some people still dream of in their
| |
| − | fantasies of spectating on and speculating about
| |
| − | a pre-relativistically non-participatory universe
| |
| − | from their singular but isolated gods'eye'views.
| |
| − | The bells tolled for that one many years ago,
| |
| − | but some of the more blithe of the blissful
| |
| − | islanders have just not gotten the news yet.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But there is still a lot to do that would be useful
| |
| − | under the banner of a "standard upper ontology",
| |
| − | if only we stay loose in our interpretation
| |
| − | of what that implies in practical terms.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One likely approach to the problem would be to take
| |
| − | a hint from the afore-allusioned history of physics --
| |
| − | to inquire for whom, else, the bell tolls -- and to
| |
| − | see if there are any bits of wisdom from that prior
| |
| − | round of collective experience that can be adapted
| |
| − | by dint of analogy to our present predicament.
| |
| − | I happen to think that there are.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And there the answer was, not to try and force a return,
| |
| − | though lord knows they all gave it their very best shot,
| |
| − | to an absolute and imperturbable framework of existence,
| |
| − | but to see the reciprocal participant relation that all
| |
| − | partakers have to the constitution of that framing, yes,
| |
| − | even unto those who would abdictators and abstainees be.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But what does that imply about some shred of a standard?
| |
| − | It means that we are better off seeking, not a standard,
| |
| − | one-size-fits-all ontology, but more standard resources
| |
| − | for trying to interrelate diverse points of view and to
| |
| − | transform the data that's gathered from one perspective
| |
| − | in ways that it can most appropriately be compared with
| |
| − | the data that is gathered from other standpoints on the
| |
| − | splendorous observational scenes and theorematic stages.
| |

| |
| − | | 3
| |
| − | | |
| − | The problem is to color the nodes of the graph
| |
| − | in such a way that no pair of nodes that are
| |
| − | adjacent in the graph, that is, linked by
| |
| − | an edge, get the same color.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The objective situation that is to be achieved can be represented
| |
| − | in a so-called "declarative" fashion, in effect, by employing the
| |
| − | cactus language as a very simple sort of declarative programming
| |
| − | language, and depicting the prospective solution to the problem
| |
| − | as a ZOT.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To do this, begin by declaring the following set of
| |
| − | twelve boolean variables or "zeroth order features":
| |
| − | | |
| − | {1_orange, 1_silver, 1_indigo,
| |
| − | 2_orange, 2_silver, 2_indigo,
| |
| − | 3_orange, 3_silver, 3_indigo,
| |
| − | 4_orange, 4_silver, 4_indigo}
| |
| − | | |
| − | The interpretation to keep in mind will be such that
| |
| − | the feature name of the form "<node i>_<color j>"
| |
| − | says that the node i is assigned the color j.

| − | | |
| − | It is clear that there can be at most one queen on each row

| − | I turn now to another golden oldie of a constraint satisfaction problem
| |
| − | that I would like to give here a slightly new spin, but not so much for
| |
| − | the sake of these trifling novelties as from a sense of old time's ache

| − | | Suppose Peter, Paul, and Jane are musicians. One of them plays
| |
| − | | saxophone, another plays guitar, and the third plays drums. As
| |
| − | | it happens, one of them is afraid of things associated with the
| |
| − | | number 13, another of them is afraid of cats, and the third is
| |
| − | | afraid of heights. You also know that Peter and the guitarist
| |
| − | | skydive, that Paul and the saxophone player enjoy cats, and
| |
| − | | that the drummer lives in apartment 13 on the 13th floor.
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | Soon we will want to use these facts to reason
| |
| − | | about whether or not certain identity relations
| |
| − | | hold or are excluded. Assume X(Peter, Guitarist)
| |
| − | | means "the person who is Peter is not the person who
| |
| − | | plays the guitar". In this notation, the facts become:

| − | planted in the file Consat.Log, which works to describe the facts of the

| − | propositional expression, we are literally talking about a function that
| |
| − | enjoys the abstract type f : %B%^18 -> %B%. If I had wanted to evaluate
| |

| − | "zeroth order logic" (zol) is just another name for

| |
| − | that comes before "first order logic" (fol), aka
| |
| − | first intens/tional logic, quantificational logic,

| − | or predicate calculus, depending on who you talk to.
| |
| − | | |
| − | the line of work that i have been doing derives from
| |
| − | the ideas of c.s. peirce (1839-1914), who developed
| |
| − | a couple of systems of "logical graphs", actually,
| |
| − | two variant interpretations of the same abstract
| |
| − | structures, called "entitative" and "existential"
| |
| − | graphs. he organized his system into "alpha",
| |
| − | "beta", and "gamma" layers, roughly equivalent
| |
| − | to our propositional, quantificational, and
| |
| − | modal levels of logic today.
| |
| − | | |
| − | on the more contemporary scene, peirce's entitative interpretation
| |
| − | of logical graphs was revived and extended by george spencer brown
| |
| − | in his book 'laws of form', while the existential interpretation
| |
| − | has flourished in the development of "conceptual graphs" by
| |
| − | john f sowa and a community of growing multitudes.

| − | | |
| − | i have mostly focused on "alpha" (prop calc or zol) --

| − | though the "func conception of quant logic" thread was
| |
| − | a beginning try at saying how the same line of thought
| |
| − | might be extended to 1st, 2nd, & higher order logics --
| |
| − | and i devised a particular graph & string syntax that
| |
| − | is based on a species of cacti, officially described as
| |
| − | the "reflective extension of logical graphs" (ref log),
| |
| − | but more lately just referred to as "cactus language".
| |
| − | | |
| − | it turns out that one can do many interesting things
| |
| − | with prop calc if one has an efficient enough syntax
| |
| − | and a powerful enough interpreter for it, even using
| |
| − | it as a very minimal sort of declarative programming
| |

| − | applying "zeroth order theories" (zot's) as brands
| |
| − | of "zeroth order programs" (zop's) to a set of old
| |
| − | constraint satisfaction and knowledge rep examples.
| |
| − | | |
| − | more recent expositions of the cactus language have been directed
| |
| − | toward what some people call "ontology engineering" -- it sounds
| |
| − | so much cooler than "taxonomy" -- and so these are found in the

| |
| − | | |
| − | Let's now pause and reflect on the mix of abstract and concrete material
| |
| − | that we have cobbled together in spectacle of this "World Of Zero" (WOZ),
| |
| − | since I believe that we may have seen enough, if we look at it right, to
| |
| − | illustrate a few of the more salient phenomena that would normally begin
| |
| − | to weigh in as a major force only on a much larger scale. Now, it's not
| |
| − | exactly like this impoverished sample, all by itself, could determine us
| |
| − | to draw just the right generalizations, or force us to see the shape and
| |
| − | flow of its immanent law -- it is much too sparse a scattering of points
| |
| − | to tease out the lines of its up and coming generations quite so clearly --
| |
| − | but it can be seen to exemplify many of the more significant themes that
| |
| − | we know evolve in more substantial environments, that is, On Beyond Zero,
| |
| − | since we have already seen them, "tho' obscur'd", in these higher realms.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One the the themes that I want to to keep an eye on as this discussion
| |
| − | develops is the subject that might be called "computation as semiosis".
| |
| − | | |
| − | In this light, any calculus worth its salt must be capable of helping
| |
| − | us do two things, calculation, of course, but also analysis. This is
| |
| − | probably one of the reasons why the ordinary sort of differential and
| |
| − | integral calculus over quantitative domains is frequently referred to
| |
| − | as "real analysis", or even just "analysis". It seems quite clear to
| |
| − | me that any adequate logical calculus, in many ways expected to serve
| |
| − | as a qualitative analogue of analytic geometry in the way that it can
| |
| − | be used to describe configurations in logically circumscribed domains,
| |
| − | ought to qualify in both dimensions, namely, analysis and computation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | With all of these various features of the situation in mind, then, we come
| |
| − | to the point of viewing analysis and computation as just so many different
| |
| − | kinds of "sign transformations in respect of pragmata" (STIROP's). Taking
| |
| − | this insight to heart, let us next work to assemble a comprehension of our
| |
| − | concrete examples, set in the medium of the abstract calculi that allow us
| |
| − | to express their qualitative patterns, that may hope to be an increment or
| |
| − | two less inchoate than we have seen so far, and that may even permit us to
| |
| − | catch the action of these fading fleeting sign transformations on the wing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here is how I picture our latest round of examples
| |
| − | as filling out the framework of this investigation:

| − | We can worry later about the proper use of quotation marks
| |
| − | in discussing such a case, where the file name "Yada.Yak"
| |
| − | denotes a piece of text that expresses a proposition that
| |
| − | describes an objective situation or an intentional object,
| |
| − | but whatever the case it is clear that we are knee & neck
| |
| − | deep in a sign relational situation of a modest complexity.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I think that the right sort of analogy might help us
| |
| − | to sort it out, or at least to tell what's important
| |
| − | from the things that are less so. The paradigm that
| |
| − | comes to mind for me is the type of context in maths
| |
| − | where we talk about the "locus" or the "solution set"
| |
| − | of an equation, and here we think of the equation as
| |
| − | denoting its solution set or describing a locus, say,
| |
| − | a point or a curve or a surface or so on up the scale.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In this figure of speech, we might say for instance:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | o is
| |
| − | | what "x^3 - 3x^2 + 3x - 1 = 0" denotes is
| |
| − | | what "(x-1)^3 = 0" denotes is
| |
| − | | what "1" denotes
| |
| − | | is 1.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Making explicit the assumptive interpretations
| |
| − | that the context probably enfolds in this case,
| |
| − | we assume this description of the solution set:
| |
| − | | |
| − | {x in the Reals : x^3 - 3x^2 + 3x -1 = 0} = {1}.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In sign relational terms, we have the 3-tuples:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | <o, "x^3 - 3x^2 + 3x - 1 = 0", "(x-1)^3 = 0">
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | <o, "(x-1)^3 = 0", "1">
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | | <o, "1", "1">
| |
| − | | |
| − | As it turns out we discover that the
| |
| − | object o was really just 1 all along.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But why do we put ourselves through the rigors of these
| |
| − | transformations at all? If 1 is what we mean, why not
| |
| − | just say "1" in the first place and be done with it?
| |
| − | A person who asks a question like that has forgetten
| |
| − | how we keep getting ourselves into these quandaries,
| |
| − | and who it is that assigns the problems, for it is
| |
| − | Nature herself who is the taskmistress here and the
| |
| − | problems are set in the manner that she determines,
| |
| − | not in the style to which we would like to become
| |
| − | accustomed. The best that we can demand of our
| |
| − | various and sundry calculi is that they afford
| |
| − | us with the nets and the snares more readily
| |
| − | to catch the shape of the problematic game
| |
| − | as it flies up before us on its own wings,
| |
| − | and only then to tame it to the amenable
| |
| − | demeanors that we find to our liking.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In sum, the first place is not ours to take.
| |
| − | We are but poor second players in this game.
| |
| − | | |
| − | That understood, I can now lay out our present Example
| |
| − | along the lines of this familiar mathematical exercise.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | o is

| |

| − | The reason that I am troubling myself -- and no doubt you --
| |
| − | with the details of this Example is because it highlights
| |
| − | a number of the thistles that we will have to grasp if we
| |
| − | ever want to escape from the traps of YARNBOL and YARWARS
| |
| − | in which so many of our fairweather fiends are seeking to
| |
| − | ensnare us, and not just us -- the whole web of the world.
| |
| − | | |
| − | YARNBOL = Yet Another Roman Numeral Based Ontology Language.
| |
| − | YARWARS = Yet Another Representation Without A Reasoning System.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In order to avoid this, or to reverse the trend once it gets started,
| |
| − | we just have to remember what a dynamic living process a computation
| |
| − | really is, precisely because it is meant to serve as an iconic image
| |
| − | of dynamic, deliberate, purposeful transformations that we are bound
| |
| − | to go through and to carry out in a hopeful pursuit of the solutions
| |
| − | to the many real live problems that life and society place before us.
| |
| − | So I take it rather seriously.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Okay, back to the grindstone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The question is: "Why are these trips necessary?"
| |
| − | | |
| − | How come we don't just have one proper expression
| |
| − | for each situation under the sun, or all possible
| |
| − | suns, I guess, for some, and just use that on any
| |
| − | appearance, instance, occasion of that situation?
| |
| − | | |
| − | Why is it ever necessary to begin with an obscure description
| |
| − | of a situation? -- for that is exactly what the propositional
| |
| − | expression caled "Logue(o)", for Example, the Consat.Log file,
| |
| − | really is.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Maybe I need to explain that first.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first three items of syntax -- Logue(o), Model(o), Tenor(o) --
| |
| − | are all just so many different propositional expressions that
| |
| − | denote one and the same logical-valued function p : X -> %B%,
| |
| − | and one whose abstract image we may well enough describe as
| |
| − | a boolean function of the abstract type q : %B%^k -> %B%,
| |
| − | where k happens to be 18 in the present Consat Example.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If we were to write out the truth table for q : %B%^18 -> %B%
| |
| − | it would take 2^18 = 262144 rows. Using the bold letter #x#
| |
| − | for a coordinate tuple, writing #x# = <x_1, ..., x_18>, each
| |
| − | row of the table would have the form <x_1, ..., x_18, q(#x#)>.
| |
| − | And the function q is such that all rows evalue to %0% save 1.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each of the four different formats expresses this fact about q
| |
| − | in its own way. The first three are logically equivalent, and
| |
| − | the last one is the maximally determinate positive implication
| |
| − | of what the others all say.
| |
| − | | |
| − | From this point of view, the logical computation that we went through,
| |
| − | in the sequence Logue, Model, Tenor, Sense, was a process of changing
| |
| − | from an obscure sign of the objective proposition to a more organized
| |
| − | arrangement of its satisfying or unsatisfying interpretations, to the
| |
| − | most succinct possible expression of the same meaning, to an adequate
| |
| − | positive projection of it that is useful enough in the proper context.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is the sort of mill -- it's called "computation" -- that we have
| |
| − | to be able to put our representations through on a recurrent, regular,
| |
| − | routine basis, that is, if we expect them to have any utility at all.
| |
| − | And it is only when we have started to do that in genuinely effective
| |
| − | and efficient ways, that we can even begin to think about facilitating
| |
| − | any bit of qualitative conceptual analysis through computational means.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And as far as the qualitative side of logical computation
| |
| − | and conceptual analysis goes, we have barely even started.

| |
| − | objective situation o in a pairwise associated way, of course:

| − | First of all, we notice the importance of "equational reasoning"
| |
| − | in mathematics, by which I mean, not just the quantitative type
| |
| − | of equation that forms the matter of the process, but also the
| |
| − | qualitative type of equation, or the "logical equivalence",
| |
| − | that connects each expression along the way, right up to
| |
| − | the penultimate stage, when we are satisfied in a given
| |
| − | context to take a projective implication of the total
| |
| − | knowledge of the situation that we have been taking
| |
| − | some pains to preserve at every intermediate stage
| |
| − | of the game.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This general pattern or strategy of inference, working its way through
| |
| − | phases of "equational" or "total information preserving" inference and
| |
| − | phases of "implicational" or "selective information losing" inference,
| |
| − | is actually very common throughout mathematics, and I have in mind to
| |
| − | examine its character in greater detail and in a more general setting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Just as the barest hint of things to come along these lines, you might
| |
| − | consider the question of what would constitute the equational analogue
| |
| − | of modus ponens, in other words the scheme of inference that goes from
| |
| − | x and x=>y to y. Well the answer is a scheme of inference that passes
| |
| − | from x and x=>y to x&y, and then being reversible, back again. I will
| |
| − | explore the rationale and the utility of this gambit in future reports.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One observation that we can make already at this point,
| |
| − | however, is that these schemes of equational reasoning,
| |
| − | or reversible inference, remain poorly developed among
| |
| − | our currently prevailing styles of inference in logic,
| |
| − | their potentials for applied logical software hardly
| |
| − | being broached in our presently available systems.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Files: StiltN.* = "Space and Time Limited Turing Machine",

| |
| − | Notes: Can only run Turing machine example for input of size 2.
| |
| − | Since the last tape cell is used for an end-of-file marker,
| |
| − | this amounts to only one significant digit of computation.
