Survey of Definition and Determination • 2
inquiryintoinquiry.com/2023/04

In the early 1990s, “in the middle of life's journey” as the saying goes, I returned to grad school in a systems engineering program with the idea of taking a more systems-theoretic approach to my development of Peircean themes, from signs and scientific inquiry to logic and information theory.

Two of the first questions calling for fresh examination were the closely related concepts of definition and determination, not only as Peirce used them in his logic and semiotics but as researchers in areas as diverse as computer science, cybernetics, physics, and systems sciences were finding themselves forced to reconsider the concepts in later years. That led me to collect a sample of texts where Peirce and a few other writers discuss the issues of definition and determination. There are copies of those selections at the following sites.

What follows is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on Definition and Determination, with a focus on the part they play in Peirce's interlinked theories of signs, information, and inquiry. In classical logical traditions the concepts of definition and determination are closely related and their bond acquires all the more force when we view the overarching concept of constraint from an information-theoretic point of view, as Peirce did beginning in the 1860s.

Glad to announce that the paper "A sensemaking system for grouping and suggesting stories from multiple affective viewpoints in museums" (available @ lnkd.in/dU5S3uee ) - based on the results of the SPICE H2020 EU project spice-h2020.eu/ on the community of museum users - has been accepted in the special issue on for people with diverse cognitive abilities of the Human–Computer Interaction journal (Taylor & Francis).

I think a lot of people who've been working all along on AI, intelligent systems, and computational extensions of human capacities in general are a little distressed to see the field cornered and re‑branded in the short‑sighted, market‑driven way we currently see.

The more fundamental problem I see here is the failure to grasp the nature of the task at hand, and this I attribute not to a program but to its developers.

Journalism, Research, and Scholarship are not matters of generating probable responses to prompts or other stimuli. What matters is producing evidentiary and logical supports for statements. That is the task requirement the developers of recent LLM‑Bots are failing to grasp.

There is nothing new about that failure. There is a long history of attempts to account for intelligence and indeed the workings of scientific inquiry based on the principles of associationism, behaviorism, connectionism, and theories of that order. But the relationship of empirical evidence, logical inference, and scientific information is more complex and intricate than is dreamt of in those reductive philosophies.

Differential Logic and Dynamic Systems • Overview 4
inquiryintoinquiry.com/2019/09

Logic-based systems have tended to be static in character, largely because we have lacked a proper logical analogue of differential calculus. The work laid out in this series of posts is intended to address that lack.

Differential Logic and Dynamic Systems • Overview 3
inquiryintoinquiry.com/2019/09

Symbolic models use logical methods to describe systems and their agents in qualitative terms, deriving logical consequences of a system’s description or an agent’s state of information.

Differential Logic and Dynamic Systems • Overview 1
inquiryintoinquiry.com/2019/09

In modeling intelligent systems, whether we are trying to understand a natural system or engineer an artificial system, there has long been a tension or trade-off between dynamic paradigms and symbolic paradigms.

In the Way of Inquiry • Recircus

I must lie down where all the ladders start
In the foul rag and bone shop of the heart.

— W.B.

I have in mind circling back to a point in my project on Inquiry Driven Systems, namely the chapter addressing various Obstacles to the Project.
