RE: Applications: Intelligence systems (was Re: A new intelligenc eparadigm)

["Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@ingr.com>]

Since Dr Prueitt said "goodbye", I shall respect that 
message and pull him from the reply list.  Still, his 
publised works are available to us and we can make the 
most of these and their references.

I suspect the HCI research on the Amodeus project and 
the uncertainty oscillation phenomenon (system based 
choice and choice of choices) are related.  Identification 
and selection are at a large scale, The Problem.   Note 
that interior models and external models as well as 
selection based on linkage and potentially, punting 
to process to create linkage are seminal.

Prueitt points off to the Russian applied semiotics works.  Again, our 
initial intuitions on fields of study for synthesis are 
validated.  We need to work out how to frame our results 
within the semantic web architecture.  This seems straightforward 
to me given some of the examples we have been generating.  
I think a scenario/example-by-schema and RDF ontology 
method will work in the short run.   I don't know how 
well our prototype schemas work for this but I think 
that if we apply some scenarios we can find out.

We do well to study our critic's works.

This is indeed quite an impressive paper. The following point is probably
the best quote:-

   "In each of these examples, the problem with
   translatability is that there are no containers to
   place meaning in target languages, unless that
   language has a similar referential type."

It's one of those things which is so obvious, and yet goes unsaid way too
often. Dr. Prueitt uses the examples of Marx/Pavlov scientific materialism
as interpreted by USSR and the USA during the cold war, and of Hopi Indian
sand drawings. I could add translations of the Tao Te Ching, Vedic texts,
or pre-historic cave paintings to the mix.

I'm not sure that I agree with Dr. Prueitt's suggestion that non boolean
logic (analogue) is classed as absurd by Western academia, just not as well
researched as boolean logic. Points of entry may include "glass bead game"
quarters of semiotics, and Western classical investigations into just why
Chinese Abacuses are so efficient.
