Facets of Systems Science
Inbunden, 1991
1909 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book has a rather strange history. It began in Spring 1989, thirteen years after our Systems Science Department at SUNY -Binghamton was established, when I was asked by a group of students in our doctoral program to have a meeting with them. The spokesman of the group, Cliff Joslyn, opened our …
Alternative Mathematical Model of Linguistic Semantics and Pragmatics
Av Vilém Novák
Inbunden, 1993
1093 kr
Lägg i varukorg
In opposition to the classical set theory of natural language, Novák's highly original monograph offers a theory based on alternative and fuzzy sets. This new approach is firmly grounded in semantics and pragmatics, and accounts for the vagueness inherent in natural language-filling a large gap in …
Chaotic Logic
Language, Thought, and Reality from the Perspective of Complex Systems Science
Av Ben Goertzel
Inbunden, 1994
1062 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book summarizes a network of interrelated ideas which I have developed, off and on, over the past eight or ten years. The underlying theme is the psychological interplay of order and chaos. Or, to put it another way, the interplay of deduction and induction. I will try to explain the …
Foundations of Fuzzy Control

Harold Lewis applied a cross-disciplinary approach in his highly accessible discussion of fuzzy control concepts. With the aid of fifty-seven illustrations, he thoroughly presents a unique mathematical formalism to explain the workings of the fuzzy inference engine and a novel test plant used in …
From Complexity to Creativity
Explorations in Evolutionary, Autopoietic, and Cognitive Dynamics
Av Ben Goertzel
Inbunden, 1997

Cybernetic pioneer Warren McCullough asked: "What is a man, that he may know a number; and what is a number, that a man may know it?" Thinking along much the same lines, my question here is: "What is a creative mind, that it might emerge from a complex system; and what is a complex system, that it …
General Systems Theory
A Mathematical Approach

How real is reality? Are our images of the world mere inventions, or does an external reality correspond to them? Is it possible to know the truth?These are questions that physicist and philosopher Heinz von Foerster and journalist Bernhard Poerksen debate about in their conversations. Together, …
Fuzzy Relational Systems
Foundations and Principles
Inbunden, 2002
1636 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Since their inception, fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic became popular. The reason is that the very idea of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic attacks an old tradition in science, namely bivalent (black-or-white, all-or-none) judg ment and reasoning and the thus resulting approach to formation of scientific …
