Comments welcome

In starting to work on the qqqq predicate, I noticed mistakes in my folder orginization.

I decided to just continue forward rather than try to correct all that.

  • I still have the old files, and I think they are mostly OK on github.
  • Contents

    1. Documents
    2. Source Code - Github
    3. My Philosophy Revised to use qqqq predicate
    4. Investigation Into Satisfiability
    5. Some Physics Using Maple

    Documents

    1. Background to my Philosophy of Belief and Truth
    2. Sample Code With Explanation of Programming and Philosophy
    3. On the Axiom of Reducibility
    4. Principia Mathematica Glossary
    5. What Logic Can and Cannot Do
    6. Incompleteness is Good for Logic
    7. My Ideas
    8. Opacity Explained (away)
    9. How to describe reality - according to a dream of mine - last night (11/10/2021)
    10. I was going to make comments on a number of books relevant to these topics.
      But I have decided to try to improve the comments within the WildLIFE code instead.
      I will also try to compile a bibliography of books on the topics.
    11. Sample Understanding Predicate explained in detail.
    12. Beginning of Document on this Philosophy
    13. The WildLIFE Handbook
    14. Previous Work in this area
      Includes tutorials on Prolog - very similar to WildLIFE.

    Source Code - Github

    I need to improve the documentation.
    I have not found enough time.

    9. I may add more demos of my philosophy. SOME NOTES.
      I have mostly completed the singular cases.
      I have begun on plural cases.
      Plural cases correspond to what are usually called classes.
      In my philosophy it appears there are no objects corresponding to classes.
      There are words and ideas, which apply to multiple (plural) objects.
      This only requires the existence of one-many relations.
      Do not worry what you call things - look at the RELATIONS.

      OK - I have it worked out plural cases.
      .
      Only ideas have types - as before.
      class ideas are same type as their objects - related by tttt relation.
      relation ideas are one type higher than their objects - which may be class ideas or object ideas.
      Much of this could be done differently - these are my conventions.

      Things have seemed to work out OK.
      The Whitehead cases have been updated for plural (classes).
      Now I have another idea; universal quantification can be implemented as universal ideas.
      For each type of idea there would be a one many relation of a universal idea to all objects. [to which that type of idea applies]
      WildLIFE does have what amounts to existential quantification built in
      However, I am not trying to reduce ontology to WildLIFE.
      I am trying to use WildLIFE to illustrate ontology.
      I am interested to see how far I can go.
      Can I go as far as a natural language?
      After all, they have finite vocabularies also!

      I think all uploaded to git except Putnam twin earth example.
      END NOTES

    Investigation into Satisfiability

    1. More organized investigation into satisfiability

    New Work - Using Gravity and Electromagnetism

    I am very speculatively considering Russell's "The Ultimate Constituents of Matter".
    I have only implemented gravity and electromagnetism so far.
    1. INPUT Maple TESTS

      1. Input for Mind Body Hypothesis (only gravity) - electromagnetism more relevant but harder
      2. Input for Mind Body Hypothesis (gravity and electromagnetism)
    2. OUTPUT Maple TESTS

      1. Output for Mind Body Hypothesis (only gravity) - electromagnetism more relevant but harder
      2. Output for Mind Body Hypothesis (gravity and electromagnetism)
