@molosovsky Tja, hätten #Wiener, #Ashby und Co nur mal die Demut und Geduld gehabt ihren Platz in der Philosophie zu suchen, wir würden die "Steuermannslehre" als angewandte Epistomologie kennen und hätten sie in anderen Wissenschaften genau so schnell integrieren können, wie auf der grüenen Wiese der aufkeimenden E-Technik.

Apparently there is a move afoot to rename Ashby BART "South Berkeley BART."

Well, in that case:

MacArthur = North Oakland
Rockridge = Very North Oakland
Fruitvale = East Oakland
Coliseum = Deep East Oakland
12th = South Oakland Center
19th = North Oakland Center
Lake Merritt = East Oakland Center
Bay Fair = South San Leandro
Powell = San Francisco Center
Civic Center = West San Francisco Center
Montgomery = East San Francisco Center
Embarcadero = East San Francisco
16th = South San Francisco Center
24th = South San Francisco, But Not The Separate City Called That
Glen Park = Southwest San Francisco
Balboa Park = More Southwest San Francisco
El Cerrito Plaza = El Cerrito del Sur

Coping with collaboration, communication, context, integration, interoperability, perspective, purpose, and the reality of the information dimension demands a transition from conceptual environments bounded by dyadic relations to those informed by triadic relations, especially the variety of triadic sign relations employed by pragmatic semiotics.

Along the lines of my first post on this topic I am presently concerned with the logical and mathematical requirements of dealing with constraints but when it comes to the constraints involved in communicating across cultural and disciplinary barriers I could recommend a paper Susan Awbrey and I wrote for a conference devoted to those very issues.

The system‑theoretic concept of “constraint” is one that unifies a manifold of other notions — definition, determination, habit, information, law, predicate, regularity, and so on. Indeed, it is often the best way to understand the entire complex of concepts.

Entwined with the concept of “constraint” is the concept of “information”, the power signs bear to reduce uncertainty and advance inquiry. Asking what consequences those ideas have for Peirce’s theory of triadic sign relations led me some years ago to the thoughts recorded on the following page.

Pragmatic Semiotic Information
• https://oeis.org/wiki/Pragmatic_Semiotic_Information

Here I am thinking of the concept of constraint that constitutes one of the fundamental ideas of classical cybernetics and mathematical systems theory.

For example, here is how W. Ross Ashby introduces the concept of constraint in his Introduction to Cybernetics (1956).

❝A most important concept, with which we shall be much concerned later, is that of “constraint”. It is a relation between two sets, and occurs when the variety that exists under one condition is less than the variety that exists under another. Thus, the variety of the human sexes is 1 bit; if a certain school takes only boys, the variety in the sexes within the school is zero; so as 0 is less than 1, constraint exists.❞ (1964 ed., p. 127).

At its simplest, then, constraint is an aspect of the subset relation.

The objective of an agent, organism, or similar regulator is to keep within its viable region, a particular subset of its possible state space. That is the constraint of primary interest to the agent.

Differential Propositional Calculus • Overview

❝The most fundamental concept in cybernetics is that of “difference”, either that two things are recognisably different or that one thing has changed with time.❞

— W. Ross #Ashby • An Introduction to #Cybernetics

Here's the outline of a sketch I wrote on “differential propositional calculi”, which extend propositional calculi by adding terms for describing aspects of change and difference, for example, processes taking place in a universe of discourse or transformations mapping a source universe to a target universe. I wrote this as an intuitive introduction to differential logic, which is my best effort so far at dealing with the ancient and persistent problems of treating diversity and mutability in logical terms. I'll be looking at ways to improve this draft as I serialize it to my blog.

❝And if he is told that something is the way it is, then he thinks: Well, it could probably just as easily be some other way. So the sense of possibility might be defined outright as the capacity to think how everything could “just as easily” be, and to attach no more importance to what is than to what is not.❞
