After a short summer break exploring Scotland, it’s time to slowly get back into the saddle, giving a few talks, and preparing for the new academic year’s teaching.
First up, a short visit to Bochum for a PhD exam, and an impromptu talk on non-classical models for the identity predicate.

The video of my yesterday's talk at the #IAS on some uses of #ModelTheory in #Erdős #Geometry is now online. (Please ignore the nonsense that I've said instead of the definition of modularity!)

Slides from my talk at the #ModelTheory Conference in celebration of Ludomir Newelski's 60th birthday in Będlewo, Poland. It's about recent work with Kyle Gannon on convolution semigroups of measures in NIP groups, which turn out to be particularly structured!

The procedure just described is called “traversing” the tree and the string read off is called the “#TraversalString” of the tree. The reverse operation of going from the string to the tree is called “parsing” the string and the tree constructed is called the “ParseGraph” of the string.

Once we make the connection between one of #Peirce's #AlphaGraphs and its character string expression it's not too big a leap to see how the character string codes up the structure of the topological #DualGraph in the space of #RootedTrees.

In particular, though we may note in passing such historical details as the circumstance that Charles Sanders #Peirce used a #StreamerCross symbol where George #SpencerBrown used a #CarpentersSquare marker, the theme of principal interest at the abstract level of form is neutral with regard to variations of that order.

We begin on a low but expansive plateau of #FormalSystems #Peirce mapped out in his system of #AlphaGraphs \((\alpha),\) a platform so abstract in its mathematical forms as to support at least two interpretations for use in the conduct of logical reasoning. Along the way, we incorporate the later contributions of George #SpencerBrown, who revived and augmented Peirce's system in his book #LawsOfForm.

A #LogicalGraph is a graph-theoretic structure in one of the systems of graphical syntax Charles Sanders #Peirce developed for #Logic.
In his papers on #QualitativeLogic, #EntitativeGraphs, and #ExistentialGraphs, Peirce developed several versions of a graphical formalism, or a graph-theoretic formal language, designed to be interpreted for logic.

The manner of representation may be illustrated by transcribing a well-known example from the #ParallelDistributedProcessing literature (#McClelland and #Rumelhart 1988) and working through a couple of the associated exercises as translated into #LogicalGraphs.

One way to do this is to interpret the blank or #UnmarkedState as the #RestingState of a #NeuralPool, the bound or #MarkedState as its #ActivatedState, and to represent a mutually inhibitory pool of #Neurons \(a,b,c\) by the proposition \(\texttt{(}a\texttt{,}b\texttt{,}c\texttt{)}.\)
