Why is the word “logic” being co-opted for this,
Hi there Martin
I don’t know why you say the “word”
logic (I think you may be meaning the colloquial term), this is what I mean by
logic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic
In language that you and I are conversing
in is made of only three logical forms, declarative statements, imperative statements
and interrogative statements.
Mathematics is only logical constructions
using declarative logic (Boolean Logic) with either true or false outcomes (and
the 4 logical conjunctions). All axiomatic theorems in mathematics are made up
of logical statements, which are True.
Imperative statements are:
-
integersDefine the sum of any two
- Find the money
- Drive to the movie house.
- Go sub (Basic programming command)
-
the sum of any two natural numbers.Formulate an objective concerning
These statements in normal daily discourse
make up a huge amount of our communication (and our theory building). A command
in logic can be an objective, goal, mission; it can be informal or formal.
The reference signals in PCT are commands,
the perceptual controlled variable in PCT are commands in logic language-ing.
The human genes “command” our
organism.
Commands in imperative logic are not true
or false but in obeying them the command is satisfied or if not obeyed “not”
satisfied.
How one creates a mathematical calculus
with this is another issue.
Does this effect PCT?
Yes, In every single way.

Gavin
is it to make
commands as a way a relating to others seem more resonable?
