  1. Cactus Rules
    oeis.org/wiki/User:Jon_Awbrey/

    With an eye toward the aims of the NKS Forum I've begun to work out a translation of the “elementary cellular automaton rules” (ECARs), in effect, just the boolean functions of abstract type \(f : \mathbb{B}^3 \to \mathbb{B},\) into cactus language, and I'll post a selection of my working notes here.

    JM: ❝In a previous post you mentioned the minimal negation operator. Is there also the converse of this, i.e. an operator which is true when exactly one of its arguments is true? Or is this just XOR?❞

    Yes, the “just one true” operator is a very handy tool. We discussed it earlier under the headings of “genus and species relations” or “radio button logic”. Viewed in the form of a venn diagram it describes a partition of the universe of discourse into mutually exclusive and exhaustive regions.

    Reading \(\texttt{(} x_1 \texttt{,} \ldots \texttt{,} x_m \texttt{)}\) to mean just one of \(x_1, \ldots, x_m\) is false, the form \(\texttt{((} x_1 \texttt{),} \ldots \texttt{,(} x_m \texttt{))}\) means just one of \(x_1, \ldots, x_m\) is true.

    For two logical variables, though, the cases “condense” or “degenerate” and saying “just one true” is the same thing as saying “just one false”.

    \[\texttt{((} x_1 \texttt{),(} x_2 \texttt{))} = \texttt{(} x_1 \texttt{,} x_2 \texttt{)} = x_1 + x_2 = \mathrm{xor} (x_1, x_2).\]

  3. Survey of Theme One Program
    inquiryintoinquiry.com/2023/03

    This is a Survey of resources for the Theme One Program I worked on all through the 1980s. The aim was to develop fundamental algorithms and data structures for integrating empirical learning with logical reasoning. I had earlier developed separate programs for basic components of those tasks, namely, 2-level formal language learning and propositional constraint satisfaction, the latter using an extension of C.S. Peirce's logical graphs as a syntax for propositional logic. Thus arose the question of how well it might be possible to get “empiricist” and “rationalist” modes of operation to cooperate. The long-term vision is the design and implementation of an Automated Research Tool able to double as a platform for Inquiry Driven Education.
