WM(?),
These are this stick-figure versions of my long-time (coming? gone?)
project to integrate logic and information theory, which, like all my
best ideas, I later discovered had "already been chewed" (ABC'd) by CSP,
who lectured on this topic that he called "Information Theory" at Harvard,
in 1865! Oh, Per Via, a recent reading of John Collier's draft article
on "Information" for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is tempting
me to start using his moniker of "distinction theory" for the whole shebang,
which, of course, has its echoes of Spencer-Brown's 'Laws of Form' (LOF).

It shall be soon enough, once we get this scaffold built,
to start insistine on color schemes to paint the ceiling.
