SUO: Re: Doctrine Of Individuals




¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤

Robert,

I am slowly chewing my way through the e-messes
that I loaded on my plate three or four days ago.
I have been dimly conscious of one or two echoes
in your messages that seem to resonate with stuff
I think about a lot, especially the "rudiments" --
no disparagement there, it's just the way that
an old-time drummer tends to think about things --
namely, the aspects or the elements of category
theory, ontomorphisms versus onto-morphisms,
quotients, and such-like abstract nonesuch.

So far, unfortunately, I have not been able
to pin down anything definite to say about it.

But this last note rang through slightly clearer
to my understanding, so I am hoping that I can
get that far through my io-box by tonight or
tomorrow.

In the meantime, some of what you say about
formal concepts and formal contexts reminds
me of the approach that I am trying out in
my ever-ongoing dissertation work, where I
have laid out the designs for a variety of
three-layered pragmatic templates that are
called, in order of increasing specificity:

1.  Objective Frameworks (OF's),
2.  Objective Genres (OG's),
3.  Objective Motifs (OM's).

This stuff can be found at the Arisbe website:

You may wish to look at the part of the text that begins with
"Subsection 1.3.4.12:  Objective Plans & Levels", to see if there
is anything there that rings a bell.  (Note:  This was the first
piece of HTML that I ever tried and I had to use the preformatted
option in order to preserve the set-off displays and tables and such.
Also, you may have to punch <increase-font> a few times to read it.)

By the way, whatever settings you are using on your composer
do not allow me to quote your text when I try to reply ...

Talk to ya later,

Jon Awbrey
