This article develops a differential extension of propositional calculus and applies it to a context of problems arising in dynamic systems. The work pursued here is coordinated with a parallel application that focuses on neural network systems, but the dependencies are arranged to make the present article the main and the more self-contained work, to serve as a conceptual frame and a technical background for the network project.

Review and Transition

This note continues a previous discussion on the problem of dealing with change and diversity in logic-based intelligent systems. It is useful to begin by summarizing essential material from previous reports.

Table 1 outlines a notation for propositional calculus based on two types of logical connectives, both of variable \(k\!\)-ary scope.

  • A bracketed list of propositional expressions in the form \((e_1, e_2, \ldots, e_{k-1}, e_k)\) indicates that exactly one of the propositions \(e_1, e_2, \ldots, e_{k-1}, e_k\) is false.
  • A concatenation of propositional expressions in the form \(e_1~e_2~\ldots~e_{k-1}~e_k\) indicates that all of the propositions \(e_1, e_2, \ldots, e_{k-1}, e_k\) are true, in other words, that their logical conjunction is true.

All other propositional connectives can be obtained in a very efficient style of representation through combinations of these two forms. Strictly speaking, the concatenation form is dispensable in light of the bracketed form, but it is convenient to maintain it as an abbreviation of more complicated bracket expressions.

This treatment of propositional logic is derived from the work of C.S. Peirce [P1, P2], who gave this approach an extensive development in his graphical systems of predicate, relational, and modal logic [Rob]. More recently, these ideas were revived and supplemented in an alternative interpretation by George Spencer-Brown [SpB]. Both of these authors used other forms of enclosure where I use parentheses, but the structural topologies of expression and the functional varieties of interpretation are fundamentally the same.

While working with expressions solely in propositional calculus, it is easiest to use plain parentheses for logical connectives. In contexts where parentheses are needed for other purposes barred parentheses \((\!| \ldots |\!)\) may be used for logical operators.

The briefest expression for logical truth is the empty word, usually denoted by \(\varepsilon\!\) or \(\lambda\!\) in formal languages, where it forms the identity element for concatenation. To make it visible in this text, it may be denoted by the equivalent expression "\(((~))\!\)", or, especially if operating in an algebraic context, by a simple "\(1\!\)". Also when working in an algebraic mode, the plus sign "\(+\!\)" may be used for exclusive disjunction. For example, we have the following paraphrases of algebraic expressions by bracket expressions:

\(\begin{matrix} x + y & = & (x, y) \end{matrix}\)

\(\begin{matrix} x + y + z & = & ((x, y), z) & = & (x, (y, z)) \end{matrix}\)

It is important to note that the last expressions are not equivalent to the triple bracket \((x, y, z).\!\)

\(\begin{matrix} x~y'z' & \lor \\ x'y~z' & \lor \\ x'y'z~ & \end{matrix}\)

\(\begin{matrix} ((x, y), z) \\ & \\ (x, (y, z)) \end{matrix}\!\)

\(\begin{matrix} \text{Oddly many of} \\ x, y, z \\ \text{are true}. \end{matrix}\!\)

\(x + y + z\!\)


\(\begin{matrix} x~y~z~ & \lor \\ x~y'z' & \lor \\ x'y~z' & \lor \\ x'y'z~ & \end{matrix}\!\)

\((w, (x),(y),(z))\!\)

\(\begin{matrix} \text{Partition}~ w \\ \text{into}~ x, y, z. \\ & \\ \text{Genus}~ w ~\text{comprises} \\ \text{species}~ x, y, z. \end{matrix}\)

\(\begin{matrix} w'x'y'z' & \lor \\ w~x~y'z' & \lor \\ w~x'y~z' & \lor \\ w~x'y'z~ & \end{matrix}\)


Note. The usage that one often sees, of a plus sign "\(+\!\)" to represent inclusive disjunction, and the reference to this operation as boolean addition, is a misnomer on at least two counts. Boole used the plus sign to represent exclusive disjunction (at any rate, an operation of aggregation restricted in its logical interpretation to cases where the represented sets are disjoint (Boole, 32)), as any mathematician with a sensitivity to the ring and field properties of algebra would do:

The expression \(x + y\!\) seems indeed uninterpretable, unless it be assumed that the things represented by \(x\!\) and the things represented by \(y\!\) are entirely separate; that they embrace no individuals in common. (Boole, 66).

It was only later that Peirce and Jevons treated inclusive disjunction as a fundamental operation, but these authors, with a respect for the algebraic properties that were already associated with the plus sign, used a variety of other symbols for inclusive disjunction (Sty, 177, 189). It seems to have been Schröder who later reassigned the plus sign to inclusive disjunction (Sty, 208). Additional information, discussion, and references can be found in (Boole) and (Sty, 177–263). Aside from these historical points, which never really count against a current practice that has gained a life of its own, this usage does have a further disadvantage of cutting or confounding the lines of communication between algebra and logic. For this reason, it will be avoided here.

A Functional Conception of Propositional Calculus

 

Out of the dimness opposite equals advance . . . .
     Always substance and increase,
Always a knit of identity . . . . always distinction . . . .
     always a breed of life.

  — Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, [Whi, 28]

In the general case, we start with a set of logical features \(\{a_1, \ldots, a_n\}\) that represent properties of objects or propositions about the world. In concrete examples the features \(\{a_i\!\}\) commonly appear as capital letters from an alphabet like \(\{A, B, C, \ldots\}\) or as meaningful words from a linguistic vocabulary of codes. This language can be drawn from any sources, whether natural, technical, or artificial in character and interpretation. In the application to dynamic systems we tend to use the letters \(\{x_1, \ldots, x_n\}\) as our coordinate propositions, and to interpret them as denoting properties of a system's state, that is, as propositions about its location in configuration space. Because I have to consider non-deterministic systems from the outset, I often use the word state in a loose sense, to denote the position or configuration component of a contemplated state vector, whether or not it ever gets a deterministic completion.

The set of logical features \(\{a_1, \ldots, a_n\}\) provides a basis for generating an \(n\!\)-dimensional universe of discourse that I denote as \([a_1, \ldots, a_n].\) It is useful to consider each universe of discourse as a unified categorical object that incorporates both the set of points \(\langle a_1, \ldots, a_n \rangle\) and the set of propositions \(f : \langle a_1, \ldots, a_n \rangle \to \mathbb{B}\) that are implicit with the ordinary picture of a venn diagram on \(n\!\) features. Thus, we may regard the universe of discourse \([a_1, \ldots, a_n]\) as an ordered pair having the type \((\mathbb{B}^n, (\mathbb{B}^n \to \mathbb{B}),\) and we may abbreviate this last type designation as \(\mathbb{B}^n\ +\!\to \mathbb{B},\) or even more succinctly as \([\mathbb{B}^n].\) (Used this way, the angle brackets \(\langle\ldots\rangle\) are referred to as generator brackets.)

Table 2 exhibits the scheme of notation I use to formalize the domain of propositional calculus, corresponding to the logical content of truth tables and venn diagrams. Although it overworks the square brackets a bit, I also use either one of the equivalent notations \([n]\!\) or \(\mathbf{n}\) to denote the data type of a finite set on \(n\!\) elements.


\(\text{Table 2.} ~~ \text{Propositional Calculus : Basic Notation}\!\)
\(\text{Symbol}\!\) \(\text{Notation}\!\) \(\text{Description}\!\) \(\text{Type}\!\)
\(\mathfrak{A}\!\) \(\{ {}^{\backprime\backprime} a_1 {}^{\prime\prime}, \ldots, {}^{\backprime\backprime} a_n {}^{\prime\prime} \}\!\) \(\text{Alphabet}\!\) \([n] = \mathbf{n}\!\)
\(\mathcal{A}\!\) \(\{ a_1, \ldots, a_n \}\!\) \(\text{Basis}\!\) \([n] = \mathbf{n}\!\)
\(A_i\!\) \(\{ (a_i), a_i \}\!\) \(\text{Dimension}~ i\!\) \(\mathbb{B}\!\)
\(A\!\)

\(\begin{matrix} \langle \mathcal{A} \rangle \'"`UNIQ-MathJax1-QINU`"' '"`UNIQ-MathJax2-QINU`"' In other notations that are sometimes used, the operator \(\chi (\ldots)\) or the corner brackets \(\lceil\ldots\rceil\) can be used to denote a characteristic function, that is, a mapping from statements to their truth values in \(\mathbb{B}.\) Finally, it is not uncommon to use the name of the relation itself as a predicate that maps \(n\!\)-tuples into truth values. Thus we have the following notational variants of the above definition:

\[\begin{matrix} \underline{x}_i (\mathbf{x}) & = & \chi (\mathbf{x} \in L_i) & = & \lceil \mathbf{x} \in L_i \rceil & = & L_i (\mathbf{x}). \end{matrix}\]

Notice that, as defined here, there need be no actual relation between the \(n\!\)-dimensional subsets \(\{L_i\}\!\) and the coordinate axes corresponding to \(\{x_i\},\!\) aside from the circumstance that the two sets have the same cardinality. In concrete cases, though, one usually has some reason for associating these "volumes" with these "lines", for instance, \(L_i\!\) is bounded by some hyperplane that intersects the \(i^\mathrm{th}\!\) axis at a unique threshold value \(r_i \in \mathbb{R}.\!\) Often, the hyperplane is chosen normal to the axis. In recognition of this motive, let us make the following convention. When the set \(L_i\!\) has points on the \(i^\mathrm{th}\!\) axis, that is, points of the form  \(0, \ldots, 0, r_i, 0, \ldots, 0\)  where only the \(x_i\!\) coordinate is possibly non-zero, we may pick any one of these coordinate values as a parametric index of the relation. In this case we say that the indexing is real, otherwise the indexing is imaginary. For a knowledge based system \(X,\!\) this should serve once again to mark the distinction between acquaintance and opinion.

States of knowledge about the location of a system or about the distribution of a population of systems in a state space \(X = \mathbb{R}^n\) can now be expressed by taking the set \(\underline\mathcal{X} = \{\underline{x}_i\}\) as a basis of logical features. In picturesque terms, one may think of the underscore and the subscript as combining to form a subtextual spelling for the \(i^\mathrm{th}\!\) threshold map. This can help to remind us that the threshold operator \((\underline{~})_i\) acts on \(\mathbf{x}\) by setting up a kind of a "hurdle" for it. In this interpretation the coordinate proposition \(\underline{x}_i\) asserts that the representative point \(\mathbf{x}\) resides above the \(i^\mathrm{th}\!\) threshold.

Primitive assertions of the form \(\underline{x}_i (\mathbf{x})\) may then be negated and joined by means of propositional connectives in the usual ways to provide information about the state \(\mathbf{x}\) of a contemplated system or a statistical ensemble of systems. Parentheses \((\ldots)\) may be used to indicate logical negation. Eventually one discovers the usefulness of the \(k\!\)-ary just one false operators of the form \((a_1, \ldots, a_k)\), as treated in earlier reports. This much tackle generates a space of points (cells, interpretations), \(\underline{X} \cong \mathbb{B}^n,\) and a space of functions (regions, propositions), \(\underline{X}^\uparrow \cong (\mathbb{B}^n \to \mathbb{B}).\) Together these form a new universe of discourse \(\underline{X}^\circ\) of the type \((\mathbb{B}^n, (\mathbb{B}^n \to \mathbb{B})),\) which we may abbreviate as \(\mathbb{B}^n\ +\!\to \mathbb{B}\) or most succinctly as \([\mathbb{B}^n].\)

The square brackets have been chosen to recall the rectangular frame of a venn diagram. In thinking about a universe of discourse it is a good idea to keep this picture in mind, graphically illustrating the links among the elementary cells \(\underline\mathbf{x},\) the defining features \(\underline{x}_i,\) and the potential shadings \(f : \underline{X} \to \mathbb{B}\) all at the same time, not to mention the arbitrariness of the way we choose to inscribe our distinctions in the medium of a continuous space.

Finally, let \(X^*\!\) denote the space of linear functions, \((\ell : X \to \mathbb{K}),\) which has in the finite case the same dimensionality as \(X,\!\) and let the same notation be extended across the Table.

We have just gone through a lot of work, apparently doing nothing more substantial than spinning a complex spell of notational devices through a labyrinth of baffled spaces and baffling maps. The reason for doing this was to bind together and to constitute the intuitive concept of a universe of discourse into a coherent categorical object, the kind of thing, once grasped, that can be turned over in the mind and considered in all its manifold changes and facets. The effort invested in these preliminary measures is intended to pay off later, when we need to consider the state transformations and the time evolution of neural network systems.

Tables of Propositional Forms

 

To the scientist longing for non-quantitative techniques, then, mathematical logic brings hope. It provides explicit techniques for manipulating the most basic ingredients of discourse.

 
— W.V. Quine, Mathematical Logic, [Qui, 7–8]

To prepare for the next phase of discussion, Tables 6 and 7 collect and summarize all of the propositional forms on one and two variables. These propositional forms are represented over bases of boolean variables as complete sets of boolean-valued functions. Adjacent to their names and specifications are listed what are roughly the simplest expressions in the cactus language, the particular syntax for propositional calculus that I use in formal and computational contexts. For the sake of orientation, the English paraphrases and the more common notations are listed in the last two columns. As simple and circumscribed as these low-dimensional universes may appear to be, a careful exploration of their differential extensions will involve us in complexities sufficient to demand our attention for some time to come.

Propositional forms on one variable correspond to boolean functions \(f : \mathbb{B}^1 \to \mathbb{B}.\) In Table 6 these functions are listed in a variant form of truth table, one in which the axes of the usual arrangement are rotated through a right angle. Each function \(f_i\!\) is indexed by the string of values that it takes on the points of the universe \(X^\circ = [x] \cong \mathbb{B}^1.\) The binary index generated in this way is converted to its decimal equivalent and these are used as conventional names for the \(f_i,\!\) as shown in the first column of the Table. In their own right the \(2^1\!\) points of the universe \(X^\circ\) are coordinated as a space of type \(\mathbb{B}^1,\) this in light of the universe \(X^\circ\) being a functional domain where the coordinate projection \(x\!\) takes on its values in \(\mathbb{B}.\)

Propositional forms on two variables correspond to boolean functions \(f : \mathbb{B}^2 \to \mathbb{B}.\) In Table 7 each function \(f_i\!\) is indexed by the values that it takes on the points of the universe \(X^\circ = [x, y] \cong \mathbb{B}^2.\) Converting the binary index thus generated to a decimal equivalent, we obtain the functional nicknames that are listed in the first column. The \(2^2\!\) points of the universe \(X^\circ\) are coordinated as a space of type \(\mathbb{B}^2,\) as indicated under the heading of the Table, where the coordinate projections \(x\!\) and \(y\!\) run through the various combinations of their values in \(\mathbb{B}.\)

\(\begin{matrix} f_{0} \'"`UNIQ-MathJax4-QINU`"' Here, \(\mathrm{d}A_i\) is a set of two differential propositions, \(\mathrm{d}A_i = \{(\mathrm{d}a_i), \mathrm{d}a_i\},\) where \((\mathrm{d}a_i)\) is a proposition with the logical value of "\(\text{not}\ \mathrm{d}a_i\)". Each component \(\mathrm{d}A_i\) has the type \(\mathbb{B},\) operating under the ordered correspondence \(\{(\mathrm{d}a_i), \mathrm{d}a_i\} \cong \{0, 1\}.\) However, clarity is often served by acknowledging this differential usage with a superficially distinct type \(\mathbb{D},\) whose intension may be indicated as follows:

\[\mathbb{D} = \{(\mathrm{d}a_i), \mathrm{d}a_i\} = \{\text{same}, \text{different}\} = \{\text{stay}, \text{change}\} = \{\text{stop}, \text{step}\}.\]

Viewed within a coordinate representation, spaces of type \(\mathbb{B}^n\) and \(\mathbb{D}^n\) may appear to be identical sets of binary vectors, but taking a view at this level of abstraction would be like ignoring the qualitative units and the diverse dimensions that distinguish position and momentum, or the different roles of quantity and impulse.

An Interlude on the Path

 

There would have been no beginnings: instead, speech would proceed from me, while I stood in its path – a slender gap – the point of its possible disappearance.

 
— Michel Foucault, The Discourse on Language, [Fou, 215]

A sense of the relation between \(\mathbb{B}\) and \(\mathbb{D}\) may be obtained by considering the path classifier (or the equivalence class of curves) approach to tangent vectors. Consider a universe \([\mathcal{X}].\!\) Given the boolean value system, a path in the space \(X = \langle \mathcal{X} \rangle\) is a map \(q : \mathbb{B} \to X.\) In this context the set of paths \((\mathbb{B} \to X)\) is isomorphic to the cartesian square \(X^2 = X \times X,\) or the set of ordered pairs chosen from \(X.\!\)

We may analyze \(X^2 = \{ (u, v) : u, v \in X \}\) into two parts, specifically, the ordered pairs \((u, v)\!\) that lie on and off the diagonal:

\[\begin{matrix} X^2 & = & \{ (u, v) : u = v \} & \cup & \{ (u, v) : u \ne v \}. \end{matrix}\]

This partition may also be expressed in the following symbolic form: \[\begin{matrix} X^2 & \cong & \mathrm{diag}(X) & + & 2 \tbinom{X}{2}. \end{matrix}\]

The separate terms of this formula are defined as follows:

\[\begin{matrix} \mathrm{diag}(X) & = & \{ (x, x) : x \in X \}. \end{matrix}\!\]

\[\begin{matrix} \tbinom{X}{k} & = & X\ \mathrm{choose}\ k & = & \{ k\!\text{-sets from}\ X \}. \end{matrix}\!\]

Thus we have:

\[\begin{matrix} \tbinom{X}{2} & = & \{ \{ u, v \} : u, v \in X \}. \end{matrix}\]

We may now use the features in \(\mathrm{d}\mathcal{X} = \{ \mathrm{d}x_i \} = \{ \mathrm{d}x_1, \ldots, \mathrm{d}x_n \}\) to classify the paths of \((\mathbb{B} \to X)\) by way of the pairs in \(X^2.\!\) If \(X \cong \mathbb{B}^n,\) then a path \(q\!\) in \(X\!\) has the following form:

\[\begin{matrix} q : (\mathbb{B} \to \mathbb{B}^n) & \cong & \mathbb{B}^n \times \mathbb{B}^n & \cong & \mathbb{B}^{2n} & \cong & (\mathbb{B}^2)^n. \end{matrix}\]

Intuitively, we want to map this \((\mathbb{B}^2)^n\) onto \(\mathbb{D}^n\) by mapping each component \(\mathbb{B}^2\) onto a copy of \(\mathbb{D}.\) But in the presenting context "\(\mathbb{D}\)" is just a name associated with, or an incidental quality attributed to, coefficient values in \(\mathbb{B}\) when they are attached to features in \(\mathrm{d}\mathcal{X}.\)

Taking these intentions into account, define \(\mathrm{d}x_i : X^2 \to \mathbb{B}\) in the following manner:

\(\begin{array}{lcrcl} \mathrm{d}x_i ((u, v)) & = & (\!|\ x_i (u) & , & x_i (v)\ |\!) \\ & = & x_i (u) & + & x_i (v) \\ & = & x_i (v) & - & x_i (u). \\ \end{array}\)

In the above transcription, the operator bracket of the form \((\!| \ldots\ ,\ \ldots |\!)\) is a cactus lobe, in general signifying that just one of the arguments listed is false. In the case of two arguments this is the same thing as saying that the arguments are not equal. The plus sign signifies boolean addition, in the sense of addition in \(\mathrm{GF}(2),\) and thus means the same thing in this context as the minus sign, in the sense of adding the additive inverse.

The above definition of \(\mathrm{d}x_i : X^2 \to \mathbb{B}\) is equivalent to defining \(\mathrm{d}x_i : (\mathbb{B} \to X) \to \mathbb{B}\!\) in the following way:

\(\begin{array}{lcrcl} \mathrm{d}x_i (q) & = & (\!|\ x_i (q_0) & , & x_i (q_1)\ |\!) \\ & = & x_i (q_0) & + & x_i (q_1) \\ & = & x_i (q_1) & - & x_i (q_0). \\ \end{array}\)

In this definition \(q_b = q(b),\!\) for each \(b\!\) in \(\mathbb{B}.\) Thus, the proposition \(\mathrm{d}x_i\) is true of the path \(q = (u, v)\!\) exactly if the terms of \(q,\!\) the endpoints \(u\!\) and \(v,\!\) lie on different sides of the question \(x_i.\!\)

The language of features in \(\langle \mathrm{d}\mathcal{X} \rangle,\) indeed the whole calculus of propositions in \([\mathrm{d}\mathcal{X}],\) may now be used to classify paths and sets of paths. In other words, the paths can be taken as models of the propositions \(g : \mathrm{d}X \to \mathbb{B}.\) For example, the paths corresponding to \(\mathrm{diag}(X)\) fall under the description \((\!| \mathrm{d}x_1 |\!) \cdots (\!| \mathrm{d}x_n |\!),\) which says that nothing changes against the backdrop of the coordinate frame \(\{ x_1, \ldots, x_n \}.\)

Finally, a few words of explanation may be in order. If this concept of a path appears to be described in a roundabout fashion, it is because I am trying to avoid using any assumption of vector space properties for the space \(X\!\) that contains its range. In many ways the treatment is still unsatisfactory, but improvements will have to wait for the introduction of substitution operators acting on singular propositions.

The Extended Universe of Discourse

 

At the moment of speaking, I would like to have perceived a nameless voice, long preceding me, leaving me merely to enmesh myself in it, taking up its cadence, and to lodge myself, when no one was looking, in its interstices as if it had paused an instant, in suspense, to beckon to me.

 
— Michel Foucault, The Discourse on Language, [Fou, 215]

Next we define the extended alphabet or bundled alphabet \(\mathrm{E}\mathcal{A}\) as follows:

\(\begin{array}{lclcl} \mathrm{E}\mathcal{A} & = & \mathcal{A} \cup \mathrm{d}\mathcal{A} & = & \{a_1, \ldots, a_n, \mathrm{d}a_1, \ldots, \mathrm{d}a_n\}. \\ \end{array}\)

This supplies enough material to construct the differential extension \(\mathrm{E}A,\) or the tangent bundle over the initial space \(A,\!\) in the following fashion:

\(\begin{array}{lcl} \mathrm{E}A & = & \langle \mathrm{E}\mathcal{A} \rangle \\ & = & \langle \mathcal{A} \cup \mathrm{d}\mathcal{A} \rangle \\ & = & \langle a_1, \ldots, a_n, \mathrm{d}a_1, \ldots, \mathrm{d}a_n \rangle, \\ \end{array}\)

and also:

\(\begin{array}{lcl} \mathrm{E}A & = & A \times \mathrm{d}A \\ & = & A_1 \times \ldots \times A_n \times \mathrm{d}A_1 \times \ldots \times \mathrm{d}A_n. \\ \end{array}\)

This gives \(\mathrm{E}A\) the type \(\mathbb{B}^n \times \mathbb{D}^n.\)

Finally, the tangent universe \(\mathrm{E}A^\circ = [\mathrm{E}\mathcal{A}]\!\) is constituted from the totality of points and maps, or interpretations and propositions, that are based on the extended set of features \(\mathrm{E}\mathcal{A},\) and this fact is summed up in the following notation:

\(\begin{array}{lclcl} \mathrm{E}A^\circ & = & [\mathrm{E}\mathcal{A}] & = & [a_1, \ldots, a_n, \mathrm{d}a_1, \ldots, \mathrm{d}a_n]. \\ \end{array}\)

This gives the tangent universe \(\mathrm{E}A^\circ\!\) the type:

\(\begin{array}{lcl} (\mathbb{B}^n \times \mathbb{D}^n\ +\!\to \mathbb{B}) & = & (\mathbb{B}^n \times \mathbb{D}^n, (\mathbb{B}^n \times \mathbb{D}^n \to \mathbb{B})). \\ \end{array}\)

A proposition in the tangent universe \([\mathrm{E}\mathcal{A}]\) is called a differential proposition and forms the analogue of a system of differential equations, constraints, or relations in ordinary calculus.

With these constructions, the differential extension \(\mathrm{E}A\) and the space of differential propositions \((\mathrm{E}A \to \mathbb{B}),\!\) we have arrived, in main outline, at one of the major subgoals of this study. Table 8 summarizes the concepts that have been introduced for working with differentially extended universes of discourse.

\(\begin{matrix} \text{Alphabet of} \'"`UNIQ-MathJax12-QINU`"' On formal occasions, such as the present context of definition, the tacit extension from \(\mathcal{X}\) to \(\mathcal{Y}\) is explicitly symbolized by the operator \(\epsilon : (\langle \mathcal{X} \rangle \to \mathbb{B}) \to (\langle \mathcal{Y} \rangle \to \mathbb{B}),\) where the appropriate alphabets \(\mathcal{X}\) and \(\mathcal{Y}\) are understood from context, but normally one may leave the "\(\epsilon\!\)" silent.

Let's explore what this means for the present Example. Here, \(\mathcal{X} = \{ A \}\) and \(\mathcal{Y} = \mathrm{E}\mathcal{X} = \{ A, \mathrm{d}A \}.\) For each of the propositions \(f_i\!\) over \(X\!,\) specifically, those whose expression \(e_i\!\) lies in the collection \(\{ 0, (A), A, 1 \},\!\) the tacit extension \(\epsilon f\!\) of \(f\!\) to \(\mathrm{E}X\) can be phrased as a logical conjunction of two factors, \(f_i = e_i \cdot \tau\ ,\) where \(\tau\!\) is a logical tautology that uses all the variables of \(\mathcal{Y} - \mathcal{X}.\) Working in these terms, the tacit extensions \(\epsilon f\!\) of \(f\!\) to \(\mathrm{E}X\) may be explicated as shown in Table 15.

In its effect on the singular propositions over \(X,\!\) this analysis has an interesting interpretation. The tacit extension takes us from thinking about a particular state, like \(A\!\) or \((A),\!\) to considering the collection of outcomes, the outgoing changes or the singular dispositions, that spring from that state.

Example 2. Drives and Their Vicissitudes

 

I open my scuttle at night and see the far-sprinkled systems,
And all I see, multiplied as high as I can cipher, edge but
     the rim of the farther systems.

  — Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, [Whi, 81]

Before we leave the one-feature case let's look at a more substantial example, one that illustrates a general class of curves that can be charted through the extended feature spaces and that provides an opportunity to discuss a number of important themes concerning their structure and dynamics.

Again, let X = {x1} = {A}. In the discussion that follows I will consider a class of trajectories having the property that dkA = 0 for all k greater than some fixed m, and I indulge in the use of some picturesque terms that describe salient classes of such curves. Given the finite order condition, there is a highest order non-zero difference dmA exhibited at each point in the course of any determinate trajectory that one may wish to consider. With respect to any point of the corresponding orbit or curve let us call this highest order differential feature dmA the drive at that point. Curves of constant drive dmA are then referred to as "mth gear curves".

  • Scholium. The fact that a difference calculus can be developed for boolean functions is well known [Fuji], [Koh, § 8-4] and was probably familiar to Boole, who was an expert in difference equations before he turned to logic. And of course there is the strange but true story of how the Turin machines of the 1840's prefigured the Turing machines of the 1940's [Men, 225-297]. At the very outset of general purpose, mechanized computing we find that the motive power driving the Analytical Engine of Babbage, the kernel of an idea behind all of his wheels, was exactly his notion that difference operations, suitably trained, can serve as universal joints for any conceivable computation [M&M], [Mel, ch. 4].

Given this language, the particular Example that I take up here can be described as the family of 4th gear curves through E4X = 〈A, dA, d2A, d3A, d4A〉. These are the trajectories generated subject to the dynamic law d4A = 1, where it is understood in such a statement that all higher order differences are equal to 0. Since d4A and all higher dkA are fixed, the temporal or transitional conditions (initial, mediate, terminal — transient or stable states) vary only with respect to their projections as points of E3X = 〈A, dA, d2A, d3A〉. Thus, there is just enough space in a planar venn diagram to plot all of these orbits and to show how they partition the points of E3X. It turns out that there are exactly two possible orbits, of eight points each, as illustrated in Figure 16.

\(\text{Figure 16.} ~~ \text{A Couple of Fourth Gear Orbits}\!\)

With a little thought it is possible to devise an indexing scheme for the general run of dynamic states that allows for comparing universes of discourse that weigh in on different scales of observation. With this end in sight, let us index the states q in EmX with the dyadic rationals (or the binary fractions) in the half-open interval [0, 2). Formally and canonically, a state qr is indexed by a fraction r = s/t whose denominator is the power of two t = 2m and whose numerator is a binary numeral that is formed from the coefficients of state in a manner to be described next. The differential coefficients of the state q are just the values dkA(q), for k = 0 to m, where d0A is defined as being identical to A. To form the binary index d0.d1…dm of the state q the coefficient dkA(q) is read off as the binary digit dk associated with the place value 2k. Expressed by way of algebraic formulas, the rational index r of the state q can be given by the following equivalent formulations:


\(r(q)\!\) \(=\!\) \(\sum_k d_k \cdot 2^{-k}\!\) \(=\!\) \(\sum_k \text{d}^k A(q) \cdot 2^{-k}\!\)
\(=\!\)
\(\frac{s(q)}{t}\!\) \(=\!\) \(\frac{\sum_k d_k \cdot 2^{(m-k)}}{2^m}\!\) \(=\!\) \(\frac{\sum_k \text{d}^k A(q) \cdot 2^{(m-k)}}{2^m}\!\)


Applied to the example of fourth gear curves, this scheme results in the data of Tables 17-a and 17-b, which exhibit one period for each orbit. The states in each orbit are listed as ordered pairs ‹piqj›, where pi may be read as a temporal parameter that indicates the present time of the state, and where j is the decimal equivalent of the binary numeral s. Informally and more casually, the Tables exhibit the states qs as subscripted with the numerators of their rational indices, taking for granted the constant denominators of 2m = 24 = 16. Within this set-up, the temporal successions of states can be reckoned as given by a kind of parallel round-up rule. That is, if ‹dkdk+1› is any pair of adjacent digits in the state index r, then the value of dk in the next state is dk′ = dk + dk+1.

In effect, the operator \(\eta\) is nothing but the stand-alone version of a procedure that is otherwise invoked subordinate to the work of the radius operator e. Operating independently, \(\eta\) achieves precisely the same results that the second \(\epsilon\) in ‹\(\epsilon\), \(\epsilon\)› accomplishes by working within the context of its adjuvant thematic frame, "‹ , ›". From this point on, because the use of \(\epsilon\) and \(\eta\) in this setting combines the aims of both the tacit and the thematic extensions, and because \(\eta\) reflects in regard to \(\epsilon\) little more than the application of a differential twist, a mere turn of phrase, I refer to \(\eta\) as the trope extension operator.

The Chord Operator : D
 

What difference would it practically make to any one if this notion rather than that notion were true? If no practical difference whatever can be traced, then the alternatives mean practically the same thing, and all dispute is idle.

 
— William James, Pragmatism, [Jam, 45]

Next I discuss an operator that is always immanent in this form of analysis, and remains implicitly present in the entire proceeding. It may appear once as a record: a relic or revenant that reprises the reminders of an earlier stage of development. Or it may appear always as a resource: a reserve or redoubt that caches in advance an echo of what remains to be played out, cleared up, and requited in full at a future stage. And all of this remains true whether or not we recall the key at any time, and whether or not the subtending theme is recited explicitly at any stage of play.

This is the operator that is referred to as r0 in the initial stage of analysis (Figure 33-i), and that is expanded as d1 + r1 in the subsequent step (Figure 33-ii). In congruence, but not quite harmony, with my allusions of analogy that are not quite geometry, I call this the chord operator and denote it D. In the more casual terms that are here introduced, D is defined as the remainder of E and e, and it assigns a due measure to each undertone of accord or discord that is struck between the note of enterprise E and the bar of exigency e.

The tension between these counterposed notions, in balance transient but regular in stridence, may be refracted along familiar lines, though never by any such fraction resolved. In this style we may write D = ‹\(\epsilon\), D›, calling D the difference operator and noting that it plays a role in this realm of mutable and diverse discourse that is analogous to the part taken by the discrete difference operator in the ordinary difference calculus. Finally, we should note that the chord D is not one that need be lost at any stage of development. At the mth stage of play it can always be reconstituted in the following form:


D = Ee
  = r0
  = d1 + r1
  = d1 + … + dm + rm
  = (i = 1 … m) di + rm


The Tangent Operator : T
 

They take part in scenes of whose significance they have no inkling. They are merely tangent to curves of history the beginnings and ends and forms of which pass wholly beyond their ken. So we are tangent to the wider life of things.

 
— William James, Pragmatism, [Jam, 300]

The operator tagged as d1 in the analytic diagram (Figure 33) is called the tangent operator, and is usually denoted in this text as d or T. Because it has the properties required to qualify as a functor, namely, preserving the identity element of the composition operation and the articulated form of every composure among transformations, it also earns the title of a tangent functor. According to the custom adopted here, we dissect it as T = d = ‹\(\epsilon\), d›, where d is the operator that yields the first order differential dF when applied to a transformation F, and whose name is legion.

Figure 34 illustrates a stage of analysis where we ignore everything but the tangent functor T, and attend to it chiefly as it bears on the first order differential dF in the analytic expansion of F. In this situation, we often refer to the extended universes EU • and EX • under the equivalent designations TU • and TX •, respectively. The purpose of the tangent functor T is to extract the tangent map TF at each point of U •, and the tangent map TF = ‹\(\epsilon\), d›F tells us not only what the transformation F is doing at each point of the universe U • but also what F is doing to states in the neighborhood of that point, approximately, linearly, and relatively speaking.

Figure 34.  Tangent Functor Diagram
  • NB. There is one aspect of the preceding construction that remains especially problematic. Why did we define the operators W in {\(\eta\), E, D, d, r} so that the ranges of their resulting maps all fall within the realms of differential quality, even fabricating a variant of the tacit extension operator to have that character? Clearly, not all of the operator maps WF have equally good reasons for placing their values in differential stocks. The only explanation I can devise at present is that, without doing this, I cannot justify the comparison and combination of their values in the various analytic steps. By default, only those values in the same functional component can be brought into algebraic modes of interaction. Up till now, the only mechanism provided for their broader association has been a purely logical one, their common placement in a target universe of discourse, but the task of converting this logical circumstance into algebraic forms of application has not yet been taken up.

Transformations of Type B2B1

To study the effects of these analytic operators in the simplest possible situation, let us revert to a still more primitive case. Consider the singular proposition Juv› = uv, regarded either as the functional product of the maps u and v or as the logical conjunction of the features u and v, a map whose fiber of truth J–1(1) picks out the single cell of that logical description in the universe of discourse U •. Thus J, or uv, may be treated as a pseudonym for the point whose coordinates are ‹1, 1› in U •.

Analytic Expansion of Conjunction

 

In her sufferings she read a great deal and discovered that she had lost something, the possession of which she had previously not been much aware of: a soul.

What is that? It is easily defined negatively: it is simply what curls up and hides when there is any mention of algebraic series.

 
— Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities, [Mus, 118]

Figure 35 pictures the form of conjunction J : B2 → B as a transformation from the 2-dimensional universe [uv] to the 1-dimensional universe [x]. This is a subtle but significant change of viewpoint on the proposition, attaching an arbitrary but concrete quality to its functional value. Using the language introduced earlier, we can express this change by saying that the proposition J : 〈uv〉 → B is being recast into the thematized role of a transformation J : [uv] → [x], where the new variable x takes the part of a thematic variable ¢(J).

Tacit Extension of Conjunction
 

I teach straying from me, yet who can stray from me?
I follow you whoever you are from the present hour;
My words itch at your ears till you understand them.

  — Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, [Whi, 83]

Earlier I defined the tacit extension operators \(\epsilon\) : X • → Y • as maps embedding each proposition of a given universe X • in a more generously given universe Y • containing X •. Of immediate interest are the tacit extensions \(\epsilon\) : U • → EU •, that locate each proposition of U • in the enlarged context of EU •. In its application to the propositional conjunction J = u v in [uv], the tacit extension operator \(\epsilon\) produces the proposition \(\epsilon\)J in EU • = [uv, du, dv]. The extended proposition \(\epsilon\)J may be computed according to the scheme in Table 36, in effect, doing nothing more than conjoining a tautology of [du, dv] to J in U •.

Table 36. Computation of \(\epsilon\)J
\(\epsilon\)J = Ju, v
  = u v
  = u v (du)(dv) + u v (du) dv + u v du (dv) + u v du dv
\(\epsilon\)J = u v (du)(dv) +  
    u v (du) dv +  
    u v  du (dv) +  
    u v  du  dv    


The lower portion of the Table contains the dispositional features of \(\epsilon\)J arranged in such a way that the variety of ordinary features spreads across the rows and the variety of differential features runs through the columns. This organization serves to facilitate pattern matching in the remainder of our computations. Again, the tacit extension is usually so trivial a concern that we do not always bother to make an explicit note of it, taking it for granted that any function F that is being employed in a differential context is equivalent to \(\epsilon\)F, for a suitable \(\epsilon\).

Figures 37-a through 37-d present several pictures of the proposition J and its tacit extension \(\epsilon\)J. Notice in these Figures how \(\epsilon\)J in EU • visibly extends J in U •, by annexing to the indicated cells of J all of the arcs that exit from or flow out of them. In effect, this extension attaches to these cells all of the dispositions that spring from them, in other words, it attributes to these cells all of the conceivable changes that are their issue.

Figure 37-d. Tacit Extension of J  (Digraph)

The computational scheme that was shown in Table 36 treated J as a proposition in U • and formed \(\epsilon\)J as a proposition in EU •. When J is regarded as a mapping J : U • → X • then \(\epsilon\)J must be obtained as a mapping \(\epsilon\)J : EU • → X •. By default, the tacit extension of the map J : [uv] → [x] is naturally taken to be a particular map, of the following form:

\[\epsilon\]J : [uv, du, dv] → [x] ⊆ [x, dx]

This is the map that looks like J when painted in the frame of the extended source universe and that takes the same thematic variable in the extended target universe as the one that J already employs.

But the choice of a particular thematic variable, for example x for ¢(J), is a shade more arbitrary than the initial choice of variable names {uv}. This means that the map I am calling the trope extension, specifically:

\[\eta\]J : [uv, du, dv] → [dx] ⊆ [x, dx]

since it looks just the same as \(\epsilon\)J in the way that its fibers paint the source domain, belongs just as fully to the family of tacit extensions, generically considered.

These considerations have the practical consequence that all of our computations and illustrations of \(\epsilon\)J perform the double duty of capturing an image of \(\eta\)J as well. In other words, we are saved the work of carrying out calculations and drawing figures for the trope extension \(\eta\)J, because the exercise would be identical to the work already done for \(\epsilon\)J. Since the computations given for \(\epsilon\)J are expressed solely in terms of the variables {uv, du, dv}, these variables work equally well for finding \(\eta\)J. Furthermore, since each of the above Figures shows only how the level sets of \(\epsilon\)J partition the extended source universe EU • = [uv, du, dv], all of them serve equally well as portraits of \(\eta\)J.

Enlargement Map of Conjunction
 

No one could have established the existence of any details that might not just as well have existed in earlier times too; but all the relations between things had shifted slightly. Ideas that had once been of lean account grew fat.

 
— Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities, [Mus, 62]

The enlargement map EJ is computed from the proposition J by making a particular class of formal substitutions for its variables, in this case u + du for u and v + dv for v, and subsequently expanding the result in whatever way happens to be convenient for the end in view.

Table 38 shows a typical scheme of computation, following a systematic method of exploiting boolean expansions over selected variables, and ultimately developing EJ over the cells of [uv]. The critical step of this procedure uses the facts that (0, x) = 0 + x = x and (1, x) = 1 + x = (x) for any boolean variable x.

Table 38. Computation of EJ (Method 1)
EJ = Ju + du, v + dv

  =  u  v  J‹1 + du, 1 + dv +

     u (vJ‹(du),  dv › +

EJ = u v (du)(dv)      
    + u (v) (du) dv    
      + (u) v du (dv)  
        + (u)(v) du dv


Table 39 exhibits another method that happens to work quickly in this particular case, using distributive laws to multiply things out in an algebraic manner, arranging the notations of feature and fluxion according to a scale of simple character and degree. Proceeding this way leads through an intermediate step which, in chiming the changes of ordinary calculus, should take on a familiar ring. Consequential properties of exclusive disjunction then carry us on to the concluding line.

Table 39. Computation of EJ (Method 2)
EJ = ‹u + du› \(\cdot\) ‹v + dv    
 
  = u v + u dv + v du + du dv    
 
EJ = u v (du)(dv) + u (v) (du) dv + (u) v du (dv) + (u)(v) du dv


Figures 40-a through 40-d present several views of the enlarged proposition EJ.

An intuitive reading of the proposition EJ becomes available at this point, and may be useful. Recall that propositions in the extended universe EU • express the dispositions of system and the constraints that are placed on them. In other words, a differential proposition in EU • can be read as referring to various changes that a system might undergo in and from its various states. In particular, we can understand EJ as a statement that tells us what changes need to be made with regard to each state in the universe of discourse in order to reach the truth of J, that is, the region of the universe where J is true. This interpretation is visibly clear in the Figures above, and appeals to the imagination in a satisfying way, but it has the added benefit of giving fresh meaning to the original name of the shift operator E. Namely, EJ can be read as a proposition that enlarges on the meaning of J, in the sense of explaining its practical bearings and clarifying what it means in terms of the available options for differential action and the consequential effects that result from each choice.

Treated this way, the enlargement EJ has strong ties to the normal use of J, no matter whether it is understood as a proposition or a function, namely, to act as a figurative device for indicating the models of J, in effect, pointing to the interpretive elements in its fiber of truth J–1(1). It is this kind of use that is often compared with the mention of a proposition, and thereby hangs a tale.

Digression : Reflection on Use and Mention
 

Reflection is turning a topic over in various aspects and in various lights so that nothing significant about it shall be overlooked — almost as one might turn a stone over to see what its hidden side is like or what is covered by it.

 
— John Dewey, How We Think, [Dew, 57]

The contrast drawn in logic between the use and the mention of a proposition corresponds to the difference that we observe in functional terms between using "J " to indicate the region J–1(1) and using "J " to indicate the function J. You may think that one of these uses ought to be proscribed, and logicians are quick to prescribe against their confusion. But there seems to be no likelihood in practice that their interactions can be avoided. If the name "J " is used as a sign of the function J, and if the function J has its use in signifying something else, as would constantly be the case when some future theory of signs has given a functional meaning to every sign whatsoever, then is not "J " by transitivity a sign of the thing itself? There are, of course, two answers to this question. Not every act of signifying or referring need be transitive. Not every warrant or guarantee or certificate is automatically transferable, indeed, not many. Not every feature of a feature is a feature of the featuree. Otherwise we have an inference like the following: If a buffalo is white, and white is a color, then a buffalo is a color. But a buffalo is not, only buff is.

The logical or pragmatic distinction between use and mention is cogent and necessary, and so is the analogous functional distinction between determining a value and determining what determines that value, but so are the normal techniques that we use to make these distinctions apply flexibly in practice. The way that the hue and cry about use and mention is raised in logical discussions, you might be led to think that this single dimension of choices embraces the only kinds of use worth mentioning and the only kinds of mention worth using. It will constitute the expeditionary and taxonomic tasks of that future theory of signs to explore and to classify the many other constellations and dimensions of use and mention that are yet to be opened up by the generative potential of full-fledged sign relations.

 

The well-known capacity that thoughts have — as doctors have discovered — for dissolving and dispersing those hard lumps of deep, ingrowing, morbidly entangled conflict that arise out of gloomy regions of the self probably rests on nothing other than their social and worldly nature, which links the individual being with other people and things; but unfortunately what gives them their power of healing seems to be the same as what diminishes the quality of personal experience in them.

 
— Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities, [Mus, 130]
Difference Map of Conjunction
 

"It doesn't matter what one does", the Man Without Qualities said to himself, shrugging his shoulders. "In a tangle of forces like this it doesn't make a scrap of difference." He turned away like a man who has learned renunciation, almost indeed like a sick man who shrinks from any intensity of contact. And then, striding through his adjacent dressing-room, he passed a punching-ball that hung there; he gave it a blow far swifter and harder than is usual in moods of resignation or states of weakness.

 
— Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities, [Mus, 8]

With the tacit extension map \(\epsilon\)J and the enlargement map EJ well in place, the difference map DJ can be computed along the lines displayed in Table 41, ending up, in this instance, with an expansion of DJ over the cells of [uv].

Table 41. Computation of DJ (Method 1)
DJ = EJ + \(\epsilon\)J
  = Ju + du, v + dv + Ju, v
  = (u, du)(v, dv) + u v
DJ = 0      
  + u v (du) dv + u (v)(du) dv    
  + u v  du (dv)   + (u) v du (dv)  
  + u v  du  dv     + (u)(v) du dv
DJ = u v ((du)(dv)) + u (v)(du) dv + (u) v du (dv) + (u)(v) du dv


Alternatively, the difference map DJ can be expanded over the cells of [du, dv] to arrive at the formulation shown in Table 42. The same development would be obtained from the previous Table by collecting terms in an alternate manner, along the rows rather than the columns of the middle portion of the Table.

Table 42. Computation of DJ (Method 2)
DJ = \(\epsilon\)J + EJ
  = Ju, v + Ju + du, v + dv
  = u v + (u, du)(v, dv)
  = 0 + u dv + v du + du dv
DJ = 0 + u (du) dv + v du (dv) + ((u, v)) du dv


Even more simply, the same result is reached by matching up the propositional coefficients of \(\epsilon\)J and EJ along the cells of [du, dv] and adding the pairs under boolean sums (that is, "mod 2", where 1 + 1 = 0), as shown in Table 43.

Table 43. Computation of DJ (Method 3)
DJ = \(\epsilon\)J + EJ  
\(\epsilon\)J u v (du)(dv) u  v (du) dv +  u  v du (dv) +  u  v  du dv
EJ = u v (du)(dv) + u (v)(du) dv + (u) v du (dv) + (u)(v) du dv
DJ = 0 \(\cdot\) (du)(dv) + u \(\cdot\) (du) dv + v \(\cdot\) du (dv) + ((u, v)) du dv


The difference map DJ can also be given a dispositional interpretation. First, recall that \(\epsilon\)J exhibits the dispositions to change from anywhere in J to anywhere at all, and EJ enumerates the dispositions to change from anywhere at all to anywhere in J. Next, observe that each of these classes of dispositions may be divided in accordance with the case of J versus (J) that applies to their points of departure and destination, as shown below. Then, since the dispositions corresponding to \(\epsilon\)J and EJ have in common the dispositions to preserve J, their symmetric difference (\(\epsilon\)J, EJ) is made up of all the remaining dispositions, which are in fact disposed to cross the boundary of J in one direction or the other. In other words, we may conclude that DJ expresses the collective disposition to make a definite change with respect to J, no matter what value it holds in the current state of affairs.


\(\epsilon\)J = {Dispositions from J to J } + {Dispositions from J to (J) }
 
EJ = {Dispositions from J to J } + {Dispositions from (J) to J }
 
DJ = (\(\epsilon\)J, EJ)  
 
DJ = {Dispositions from J to (J) } + {Dispositions from (J) to J }

Differential of Conjunction
 

By deploying discourse throughout a calendar, and by giving a date to each of its elements, one does not obtain a definitive hierarchy of precessions and originalities; this hierarchy is never more than relative to the systems of discourse that it sets out to evaluate.

 
— Michel Foucault, The Archaeology of Knowledge, [Fou, 143]

Finally, at long last, the differential proposition dJ can be gleaned from the difference proposition DJ by ranging over the cells of [uv] and picking out the linear proposition of [du, dv] that is "closest" to the portion of DJ that touches on each point. The idea of distance that would give this definition unequivocal sense has been referred to in cautionary quotes, the kind we use to distance ourselves from taking a final position. There are obvious notions of approximation that suggest themselves, but finding one that can be justified as ultimately correct is not as straightforward as it seems.

 

He had drifted into the very heart of the world. From him to the distant beloved was as far as to the next tree.

 
— Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities, [Mus, 144]

Let us venture a guess about where these developments might be heading. From the present vantage point, it appears that the ultimate answer to the quandary of distances and the question of a fitting measure may be that, rather than having the constitution of an analytic series depend on our familiar notions of approach, proximity, and approximation, it will be found preferable, and perhaps unavoidable, to turn the tables and let the orders of approximation be defined in terms of our favored and operative notions of formal analysis. Only the aftermath of this conversion, if it does converge, could be hoped to prove whether this hortatory form of analysis and the cohort idea of an analytic form — the limitary concept of a self-corrective process and the coefficient concept of a completable product — are truly (in practical reality) the more inceptive and persistent of principles and really (for all practical purposes) the more effective and regulative of ideas.

Awaiting that determination, I proceed with what seems like the obvious course, and compute dJ according to the pattern in Table 45.

Table 45. Computation of dJ
DJ = u v ((du)(dv)) + u (v)(du) dv + (u) v du (dv) + (u)(v) du dv
dJ = u v (du, dv) + u (v) dv + (u) v du + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) 0


Figures 46-a through 46-d illustrate the proposition dJ, rounded out in our usual array of prospects. This proposition of EU • is what we refer to as the (first order) differential of J, and normally regard as the differential proposition corresponding to J.

Remainder of Conjunction
 

I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,
If you want me again look for me under your bootsoles.

You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fibre your blood.

Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop some where waiting for you

  — Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, [Whi, 88]

Let us now recapitulate the story so far. In effect, we have been carrying out a decomposition of the enlarged proposition EJ in a series of stages. First, we considered the equation EJ = \(\epsilon\)J + DJ, which was involved in the definition of DJ as the difference EJ – \(\epsilon\)J. Next, we contemplated the equation DJ = dJ + rJ, which expresses DJ in terms of two components, the differential dJ that was just extracted and the residual component rJ = DJ – dJ. This remaining proposition rJ can be computed as shown in Table 47.

Table 47. Computation of rJ
rJ = DJ + dJ  
DJ = u v ((du)(dv)) + u (v)(du) dv + (u) v du (dv) + (u)(v) du dv
dJ = u v  (du, dv) + u (v) dv + (u) v du + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) 0
rJ = u v   du dv + u (v) du dv + (u) v du dv + (u)(v) du dv


As it happens, the remainder rJ falls under the description of a second order differential rJ = d2J. This means that the expansion of EJ in the form:

EJ = \(\epsilon\)J + DJ
  = \(\epsilon\)J + dJ + rJ
  = d0J + d1J + d2J

which is nothing other than the propositional analogue of a Taylor series, is a decomposition that terminates in a finite number of steps.

Figures 48-a through 48-d illustrate the proposition rJ = d2J, which forms the remainder map of J and also, in this instance, the second order differential of J.

Summary of Conjunction

To establish a convenient reference point for further discussion, Table 49 summarizes the operator actions that have been computed for the form of conjunction, as exemplified by the proposition J.

\(\epsilon\)J = uv \(\cdot\) 1 + u(v) \(\cdot\) 0 + (u)v \(\cdot\) 0 + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) 0
EJ = uv \(\cdot\) (du)(dv) + u(v) \(\cdot\) (du)dv + (u)v \(\cdot\) du(dv) + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) du dv
DJ = uv \(\cdot\) ((du)(dv)) + u(v) \(\cdot\) (du)dv + (u)v \(\cdot\) du(dv) + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) du dv
dJ = uv \(\cdot\) (du, dv) + u(v) \(\cdot\) dv + (u)v \(\cdot\) du + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) 0

Analytic Series : Coordinate Method

 

And if he is told that something is the way it is, then he thinks: Well, it could probably just as easily be some other way. So the sense of possibility might be defined outright as the capacity to think how everything could "just as easily" be, and to attach no more importance to what is than to what is not.

 
— Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities, [Mus, 12]

The first six columns of the Table, taken as a whole, represent the variables of a construct that I describe as the contingent universe [uv, du, dvu′, v′ ], or the bundle of contingency spaces [du, dvu′, v′ ] over the universe [uv]. Their placement to the left of the double bar indicates that all of them amount to independent variables, but there is a co-dependency among them, as described by the following equations:


  u = u + du = (u, du)  
  v = v + du = (v, dv)  


These relations correspond to the formal substitutions that are made in defining EJ and DJ. For now, the whole rigamarole of contingency spaces can be regarded as a technical device for achieving the effect of these substitutions, adapted to a setting where functional compositions and other symbolic manipulations are difficult to contemplate and execute.

The five columns to the right of the double bar in Table 50 contain the values of the dependent variables {\(\epsilon\)J, EJ, DJ, dJ, d2J}. These are normally interpreted as values of functions WJ : EU → B or as values of propositions in the extended universe [uv, du, dv], but the dependencies prevailing in the contingent universe make it possible to regard these same final values as arising via functions on alternative lists of arguments, say, ‹uvu′, v′›.

The column for \(\epsilon\)J is computed as Juv› = uv. This, along with the columns for u and v, illustrates the Table's structure-sharing scheme, listing only the initial entries of each constant block.

The column for EJ is computed by means of the following chain of identities, where the contingent variables u′ and v′ are defined as u′ = u + du and v′ = v + dv.


EJu, v, du, dv = Ju + du, v + dv = Ju’, v’›


This makes it easy to determine EJ by inspection, computing the conjunction Ju′, v′› = u′ v′ from the columns headed u′ and v′. Since all of these forms express the same proposition EJ in EU •, the dependence on du and dv is still present but merely left implicit in the final variant Ju′, v′›.

  • NB. On occasion, it is tempting to use the further notation J′‹uv› = Ju′, v′›, especially to suggest a transformation that acts on whole propositions, for example, taking the proposition J into the proposition J′ = EJ. The prime [′] then signifies an action that is mediated by a field of choices, namely, the values that are picked out for the contingent variables in sweeping through the initial universe. But this heaps an unwieldy lot of construed intentions on a rather slight character, and puts too high a premium on the constant correctness of its interpretation. In practice, therefore, it is best to avoid this usage.

Given the values of \(\epsilon\)J and EJ, the columns for the remaining functions can be filled in quickly. The difference map is computed according to the relation DJ = \(\epsilon\)J + EJ. The first order differential dJ is found by looking in each block of constant ‹uv› and choosing the linear function of ‹du, dv› that best approximates DJ in that block. Finally, the remainder is computed as rJ = DJ + dJ, in this case yielding the second order differential d2J.

Analytic Series : Recap

Let us now summarize the results of Table 50 by writing down for each column, and for each block of constant ‹uv›, a reasonably canonical symbolic expression for the function of ‹du, dv› that appears there. The synopsis formed in this way is presented in Table 51. As one has a right to expect, it confirms the results that were obtained previously by operating solely in terms of the formal calculus.

Terminological Interlude

 

Lastly, my attention was especially attracted, not so much to the scene, as to the mirrors that produced it. These mirrors were broken in parts. Yes, they were marked and scratched; they had been "starred", in spite of their solidity …

 
— Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera, [Ler, 230]

At this point several issues of terminology have accrued enough substance to intrude on our discussion. The remarks of this Section are intended to accomplish two goals. First, I call attention to important aspects of the previous series of Figures, translating into literal terms what they depict in iconic forms, and I restress the most important structural elements that they indicate. Next, I prepare the way for taking on more complex examples of transformations, whose target universes have more than a single dimension.

In talking about the actions of operators it is important to keep in mind the distinctions between the operators per se, their operands, and their results. Furthermore, in working with composite forms of operators W = ‹W1, …, Wn› , transformations F = ‹F1, …, Fn› , and target domains X • = [x1, …, xn], we need to preserve a clear distinction between the compound entity of each given type and any one of its separate components. It is curious, given the usefulness of the concepts operator and operand, that we seem to lack a generic term, formed on the same root, for the corresponding result of an operation. Following the obvious paradigm would lead on to words like opus, opera, and operant, but these words are too affected with clang associations to work well at present, though they might be adapted in time. One current usage gets around this problem by using the substantive map as a systematic epithet to express the result of each operator's action. I am following this practice as far as possible, for example, using the phrase tangent map to denote the end product of the tangent functor acting on its operand map.

  • Scholium. See [JGH, 6-9] for a good account of tangent functors and tangent maps in ordinary analysis, and for examples of their use in mechanics. This work as a whole is a model of clarity in applying functorial principles to problems in physical dynamics.

Whenever we focus on isolated propositions, on single components of composite operators, or on the portions of transformations that have 1-dimensional ranges, we are free to shift between the native form of a proposition J : U → B and the thematized form of a mapping J : U • → [x] without much trouble. In these cases we are able to tolerate a higher degree of ambiguity about the precise nature of the input and output domains of an operator than we otherwise might. For example, in the preceding treatment of the example J, and for each operator W in the set {\(\epsilon\), \(\eta\), E, D, d, r}, both the operand J and the result WJ could be viewed in either one of two ways. On the one hand, we could regard them as propositions J : U → B and WJ : EU → B, ignoring the qualitative distinction between the range [x] \(\cong\) B of \(\epsilon\)J and the range [dx] \(\cong\) D of the other types of WJ. This is what we usually do when we content ourselves simply with coloring in regions of venn diagrams. On the other hand, we could view these entities as maps J : U • → [x] = X • and \(\epsilon\)J : EU • → [x] ⊆ EX • or WJ : EU • → [dx] ⊆ EX •, in which case the qualitative characters of the output features are not allowed to go without saying, nor thus at the risk of being forgotten.

At the beginning of this Division I recast the natural form of a proposition J : U → B into the thematic role of a transformation J : U • → [x], where x was a variable recruited to express the newly independent ¢(J). However, in my computations and representations of operator actions I immediately lapsed back to viewing the results as native elements of the extended universe EU •, in other words, as propositions WJ : EU → B, where W ranged over the set {\(\epsilon\), E, D, d, r}. That is as it should be. In fact, I have worked hard to devise a language that gives us all of these competing advantages, the flexibility to exchange terms and types that bear equal information value, and the capacity to reflect as quickly and as wittingly as a controlled reflex on the fibers of our propositions, independently of whether they express amusements, beliefs, or conjectures.

As we take on target spaces of increasing dimension, however, these types of confusions (and confusions of types) become less and less permissible. For this reason, Tables 54 and 55 present a rather detailed summary of the notation and the terminology that I am using here, as applied to the case of J = uv. The rationale of these Tables is not so much to train more elephant guns on this poor drosophila of an example, but to establish the general paradigm with enough solidity to bear the weight of abstraction that is coming on down the road.

Table 54 provides basic notation and descriptive information for the objects and operators that are used used in this Example, giving the generic type (or broadest defined type) for each entity. Here, the operators W in {eEDdr} and their components W in {\(\epsilon\), \(\eta\), E, D, d, r} both have the same broad type W, W : (U • → X •) → (EU • → EX •), as would be expected of operators that map transformations J : U • → X • to extended transformations WJ, WJ : EU • → EX •.

Table 55 supplies a more detailed outline of terminology for operators and their results. Here, I list the restrictive subtype (or narrowest defined subtype) that applies to each entity, and I indicate across the span of the Table the whole spectrum of alternative types that color the interpretation of each symbol. Accordingly, each of the component operator maps WJ, since their ranges are 1-dimensional (of type B1 or D1), can be regarded either as propositions WJ : EU → B or as logical transformations WJ : EU • → X •. As a rule, the plan of the Table allows us to name each entry by detaching the adjective at the left of its row and prefixing it to the generic noun at the top of its column. In one case, however, it is customary to depart from this scheme. Because the phrase differential proposition, applied to the result dJ : EU → D, does not distinguish it from the general run of differential propositions G : EU → B, it is usual to single out dJ as the tangent proposition of J.

End of Perfunctory Chatter : Time to Roll the Clip!

Two steps remain to finish the analysis of J that I began so long ago. First, I need to paste the accumulated heap of flat pictures into the frames of transformations, filling out the shapes of the operator maps WJ : EU • → EX •. This scheme is executed in two styles, using the areal views in Figures 56-a and the box views in Figures 56-b. Finally, in Figures 57-1 to 57-4 I put all the pieces together to construct the full operator diagrams for W : J → WJ. There is a large amount of redundancy in these three series of figures. At this early stage of exposition I thought that it would be better not to tax the reader's imagination, and to guarantee that the author, at least, has worked through the relevant exercises. I hope the reader will excuse the flagrant use of space and try to view these snapshots as successive frames in the animation of logic that they are meant to become.

Taking Aim at Higher Dimensional Targets

 

The past and present wilt . . . . I have filled them and
     emptied them,
And proceed to fill my next fold of the future.

  — Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, [Whi, 87]

In the next Subdivision I consider a logical transformation F that has the concrete type F : [uv] → [xy] and the abstract type F : [B2] → [B2]. From the standpoint of propositional calculus, the task of understanding such a transformation is naturally approached by parsing it into component maps with 1-dimensional ranges, as follows:


F = f, g = F1, F2 : [u, v] [x, y]
where f = F1 : [u, v] [x]
and g = F2 : [u, v] [y]


Then one tackles the separate components, now viewed as propositions Fi : U → B, one at a time. At the completion of this analytic phase, one returns to the task of synthesizing all of these partial and transient impressions into an agile form of integrity, a solidly coordinated and deeply integrated comprehension of the ongoing transformation. (Very often, of course, in tangling with refractory cases, one never gets as far as the beginning again.)

Let us now refer to the dimension of the target space or codomain as the toll (or tole) of a transformation, as distinguished from the dimension of the range or image that is customarily called the rank. When we keep to transformations with a toll of 1, as J : [uv] → [x], we tend to get lazy about distinguishing a logical transformation from its component propositions. However, if we deal with transformations of a higher toll, this form of indolence can no longer be tolerated.

Well, perhaps we can carry it a little further. After all, the operator result WJ : EU • → EX • is a map of toll 2, and cannot be unfolded in one piece as a proposition. But when a map has rank 1, like \(\epsilon\)J : EU → X ⊆ EX or dJ : EU → dX ⊆ EX, we naturally choose to concentrate on the 1-dimensional range of the operator result WJ, ignoring the final difference in quality between the spaces X and dX, and view WJ as a proposition about EU.

In this way, an initial ambivalence about the role of the operand J conveys a double duty to the result WJ. The pivot that is formed by our focus of attention is essential to the linkage that transfers this double moment, as the whole process takes its bearing and wheels around the precise measure of a narrow bead that we can draw on the range of WJ. This is the escapement that it takes to get away with what may otherwise seem to be a simple duplicity, and this is the tolerance that is needed to counterbalance a certain arrogance of equivocation, by all of which machinations we make ourselves free to indicate the operator results WJ as propositions or as transformations, indifferently.

But that's it, and no further. Neglect of these distinctions in range and target universes of higher dimensions is bound to cause a hopeless confusion. To guard against these adverse prospects, Tables 58 and 59 lay the groundwork for discussing a typical map F : [B2] → [B2], and begin to pave the way, to some extent, for discussing any transformation of the form F : [Bn] → [Bk].

Transformations of Type B2B2

To take up a slightly more complex example, but one that remains simple enough to pursue through a complete series of developments, consider the transformation from U • = [uv] to X • = [xy] that is defined by the following system of equations:


  x = fu, v = ((u)(v))  
  y = gu, v = ((u, v))  


The component notation F = ‹F1F2› = ‹fg› : U • → X • allows us to give a name and a type to this transformation, and permits us to define it by means of the compact description that follows:


  x, y = Fu, v = ‹((u)(v)), ((u, v))›  


The information that defines the logical transformation F can be represented in the form of a truth table, as in Table 60. To cut down on subscripts in this example I continue to use plain letter equivalents for all components of spaces and maps.

Figure 63 give a more complete picture of the transformation F, showing how the points of U • are transformed into points of X •. The lines that cross from one universe to the other trace the action that F induces on points, in other words, they depict the aspect of the transformation that acts as a mapping from points to points, and chart its effects on the elements that are variously called cells, points, positions, or singular propositions.

Table 64 shows how the action of the transformation F on cells or points is computed in terms of coordinates.

Table 65 extends this scheme from single cells to arbitrary regions of the source and target universes, and illustrates a form of computation that can be used to determine how a logical transformation acts on all of the propositions in the universe. The way that a transformation of positions affects the propositions, or any other structure that can be built on top of the positions, is normally called the induced action of the given transformation on the system of structures in question.

Given the alphabets U = {uv} and X = {xy}, along with the corresponding universes of discourse U • and X • \(\cong\) [B2], how many logical transformations of the general form G = ‹G1G2› : U • → X • are there?

Since G1 and G2 can be any propositions of the type B2 → B, there are 24 = 16 choices for each of the maps G1 and G2, and thus there are 24\(\cdot\)24 = 28 = 256 different mappings altogether of the form G : U • → X •. The set of all functions of a given type is customarily denoted by placing its type indicator in parentheses, in the present instance writing (U • → X •) = {G : U • → X •}, and so the cardinality of this function space can be most conveniently summed up by writing |(U • → X •)| = |(B2 → B2)| = 44 = 256.

Given any transformation G = ‹G1G2› : U • → X • of this type, one can define a couple of further transformations, related to G, that operate between the extended universes, EU • and EX •, of its source and target domains.

First, the enlargement map (or the secant transformation) EG = ‹EG1, EG2› : EU • → EX • is defined by the following set of component equations:


EGi = Giu + du, v + dv


Second, the difference map (or the chordal transformation) DG = ‹DG1, DG2› : EU • → EX • is defined in component-wise fashion as the boolean sum of the initial proposition Gi and the enlarged proposition EGi, for i = 1, 2, according to the following set of equations:


DGi = Giu, v + EGiu, v, du, dv
  = Giu, v + Giu + du, v + dv


Maintaining a strict analogy with ordinary difference calculus would perhaps have us write DGi = EGi – Gi, but the sum and difference operations are the same thing in boolean arithmetic. It is more often natural in the logical context to consider an initial proposition q, then to compute the enlargement Eq, and finally to determine the difference Dq = q + Eq, so we let the variant order of terms reflect this sequence of considerations.

Viewed in this light the difference operator D is imagined to be a function of very wide scope and polymorphic application, one that is able to realize the association between each transformation G and its difference map DG, for instance, taking the function space (U • → X •) into (EU • → EX •). Given the interpretive flexibility of contexts in which we are allowing a proposition to appear, it should be clear that an operator of this scope is not at all a trivial matter to define properly, and may take some trouble to work out. For the moment, let's content ourselves with returning to particular cases.

In their application to the present example, namely, the logical transformation F = ‹fg› = ‹((u)(v)), ((uv))›, the operators E and D respectively produce the enlarged map EF = ‹Ef, Eg› and the difference map DF = ‹Df, Dg›, whose components can be given as follows, if the reader, in lieu of a special font for the logical parentheses, can forgive a syntactically bilingual formulation:


Ef = ((u + du)(v + dv))
Eg = ((u + du, v + dv))


Df = ((u)(v)) + ((u + du)(v + dv))
Dg = ((u, v)) + ((u + du, v + dv))


But these initial formulas are purely definitional, and help us little in understanding either the purpose of the operators or the meaning of their results. Working symbolically, let us apply the same method to the separate components f and g that we earlier used on J. This work is recorded in Appendix 1 and a summary of the results is presented in Tables 66-i and 66-ii.

Table 66-i. Computation Summary for fu, v› = ((u)(v))
\(\epsilon\)f = uv \(\cdot\) 1 + u(v) \(\cdot\) 1 + (u)v \(\cdot\) 1 + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) 0
Ef = uv \(\cdot\) (du dv) + u(v) \(\cdot\) (du (dv)) + (u)v \(\cdot\) ((du) dv) + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) ((du)(dv))
Df = uv \(\cdot\) du dv + u(v) \(\cdot\) du (dv) + (u)v \(\cdot\) (du) dv + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) ((du)(dv))
df = uv \(\cdot\) 0 + u(v) \(\cdot\) du + (u)v \(\cdot\) dv + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) (du, dv)
rf = uv \(\cdot\) du dv + u(v) \(\cdot\) du dv + (u)v \(\cdot\) du dv + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) du dv

\(\epsilon\)g = uv \(\cdot\) 1 + u(v) \(\cdot\) 0 + (u)v \(\cdot\) 0 + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) 1
Eg = uv \(\cdot\) ((du, dv)) + u(v) \(\cdot\) (du, dv) + (u)v \(\cdot\) (du, dv) + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) ((du, dv))
Dg = uv \(\cdot\) (du, dv) + u(v) \(\cdot\) (du, dv) + (u)v \(\cdot\) (du, dv) + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) (du, dv)
dg = uv \(\cdot\) (du, dv) + u(v) \(\cdot\) (du, dv) + (u)v \(\cdot\) (du, dv) + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) (du, dv)
rg = uv \(\cdot\) 0 + u(v) \(\cdot\) 0 + (u)v \(\cdot\) 0 + (u)(v) \(\cdot\) 0


Table 67 shows how to compute the analytic series for F = ‹fg› = ‹((u)(v)), ((uv))› in terms of coordinates, and Table 68 recaps these results in symbolic terms, agreeing with earlier derivations.
