A Topology of Mind by Robert K. Logan,Izabella Pruska-Oldenhof Pdf

This volume covers many diverse topics related in varying degrees to mathematics in mind including the mathematical and topological structures of thought and communication. It examines mathematics in mind from the perspective of the spiral, cyclic and hyperlinked structures of the human mind in terms of its language, its thoughts and its various modes of communication in science, philosophy, literature and the arts including a chapter devoted to the spiral structure of the thought of Marshall McLuhan. In it, the authors examine the topological structures of hypertext, hyperlinking, and hypermedia made possible by the Internet and the hyperlinked structures that existed before its emergence. It also explores the cognitive origins of mathematical thinking of the human mind and its relation to the emergence of spoken language, and studies the emergence of mathematical notation and its impact on education. Topics addressed include: • The historical context of any topic that involves how mathematical thinking emerged, focusing on archaeological and philological evidence. • Connection between math cognition and symbolism, annotation and other semiotic processes. • Interrelationships between mathematical discovery and cultural processes, including technological systems that guide the thrust of cognitive and social evolution. • Whether mathematics is an innate faculty or forged in cultural-historical context • What, if any, structures are shared between mathematics and language

Thomas by Craig Thomas Pdf

Why do economies succeed? Why do they fail? What's the best way to heal a failing economy? These may be the most important questions our generation faces -- and few questions are more ridden with myths, confusion, or poor thinking. In The Econosphere, renowned economist Craig Thomas reveals what really governs money and work, and shows how to make them work for everyone. Thomas illuminates the economy for what it truly is: not a boring collection of statistics, but a living, breathing, holistic organism every bit as remarkable as the natural biosphere we've come to recognize. Thomas reveals how the Econosphere provides for humans, protects them, and allows them to live their lives to the fullest... how it can be disrupted by those seeking to improve it in misguided ways... how to love it, protect it, and shield it from harm -- and how it will love and protect you in return. You won't just learn how the Econosphere functions: you'll learn how to use that information to make better personal decisions, achieve more success, and add more value to your life and those around you. Thomas illuminates the laws that govern planning, saving, investing, budgets, insurance, expenses -- every economic decision you make. Along the way, he presents the Econosphere as it's never been seen before: a global organism capable of choreographing billions of performers with breathtaking precision, each playing their own unique role to make life better for everyone.

Investigations by Stuart A. Kauffman Pdf

"It may be that I have stumbled upon an adequate description of life itself." These modest yet profound words trumpet an imminent paradigm shift in scientific, economic, and technological thinking. In the tradition of Schrödinger's classic What Is Life?, Kauffman's Investigations is a tour-de-force exploration of the very essence of life itself, with conclusions that radically undermine the scientific approaches on which modern science rests--the approaches of Newton, Boltzman, Bohr, and Einstein. Building on his pivotal ideas about order and evolution in complex life systems, Kauffman finds that classical science does not take into account that physical systems--such as people in a biosphere--effect their dynamic environments in addition to being affected by them. These systems act on their own behalf as autonomous agents, but what defines them as such? In other words, what is life? Kauffman supplies a novel answer that goes beyond traditional scientific thinking by defining and explaining autonomous agents and work in the contexts of thermodynamics and of information theory. Much of Investigations unpacks the progressively surprising implications of his definition. Significantly, he sets the stages for a technological revolution in the coming decades. Scientists and engineers may soon seek to create autonomous agents--both organic and mechanical--that can not only construct things and work, but also reproduce themselves! Kauffman also lays out a foundation for a new concept of organization, and explores the requirements for the emergence of a general biology that will transcend terrestrial biology to seek laws governing biospheres anywhere in the cosmos. Moreover, he presents four candidate laws to explain how autonomous agents co-create their biosphere and the startling idea of a "co-creating" cosmos. A showcase of Kauffman's most fundamental and significant ideas, Investigations presents a new way of thinking about the fundamentals of general biology that will change the way we understand life itself--on this planet and anywhere else in the cosmos.
