“Since Boole formulated logic in his binary laws, . . . it has become clear that with a small number of Boolean functions – in particular, “No,” “Or,” and “If” – it is possible to derive all of logic.” Stuart A. Kauffman, in his book THE ORIGINS OF ORDER; Self-organization and Selection in Evolution p 12.

“Another way of guiding or affecting the direction of a system's processing is by prestructuring the [entire] set of alternatives from which it will select, such that desirable options are easy to find.” John Haugeland in An Overview of the Frame Problem in THE ROBOT'S DILEMMA; The Frame Problem in Artificial Intelligence © 1987 Ablex Publishing, Norwood NJ Zenon W. Pylyshyn, editor p 81.

"A frame separates the description of the world into blocks, each corresponding to a different aspect of the world, so that an event belonging to a certain block affects only facts within the same block. . . . The price we have to pay is a new set of difficult problems. Among them is the problem of how and when to switch frames . . . And . . . How to reshuffle information from the old frame into . . . The new frame. These problems remain largely unsolved." Lars-Erik Janlert, University of Umeå, Sweden in Fames in THE ROBOT'S DILEMMA Zenon W.

“Mathematics is the group of sciences dealing with symbols and rules. . . . The most basic rules in mathematics, which practically underpin all sciences, are 1. the concept of zero 2. positional notation 3. operators, arithmetic as well as logical 4. abstraction and idealization.” NEW INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES Dimitras Chorafas © 1992 Van Nostrand Reinhold p 20.

“Many problems of practical importance are problems of reasoning about actions. In these problems, a course of action has to be found that satisfies a number of specified conditions. Everyday examples of reasoning about actions include planning an airplane trip, organizing a dinner party, etc. . . . A problem of reasoning about actions (Simon, 1966) is given in terms of an initial situation, a terminal situation, a set of feasible actions, and a set of constraints that restrict the applicability of actions. The task of a problem solver is to find the best sequence of permissible actions that can transform the initial situation into the terminal situation.” From On Representations of Problems of Reasoning About Actions.

“A person who has played other games approaches a newly-introduced game with certain expectations: there will be rules, players, playing pieces, perhaps a board, and the players will take turns. Although he may be new to the game, experience has taught him what there is to be learned about a game and how to learn it.” From The Intelligent Novice: Learning to Play Better, in the book HEURISTIC PROGRAMMING IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: THE FIRST OLYMPIAD edited by David Levy 1989. Chichester, UK: Ellis Horwood Limited.

“It is not that the games and mathematical problems are chosen because they are clear and simple; rather it is that they give us, for the smallest initial structures, the greatest complexity, so that one can engage some really formidable situations after a relatively minimal diversion into programming.” 1968. Marvin Minsky -- From SEMANTIC INFORMATION PROCESSING Cambridge, MA: MIT Press p 12.

“All knowledge, all science, thus aims to grasp the meaning of objects and events, and this process always consists in taking them out of their apparent brute isolation as events, and finding them to be parts of some larger whole suggested by them, which, in turn, accounts for, explains, interprets them; i.e. renders them significant.” John Dewey in his book HOW WE THINK Henry Holt and Company 1938 p 117.

“We are surrounded by explanations. . . We do not normally stop to ask what these explanations mean or what they are supposed to be explaining. . . We look at a body of theory and find a confusing patchwork of schools and approaches, and it is very hard to see how they fit together. . . we have a bewildering variety of ways of approach and modes of explanation. Faced with such a list, what strikes us is the difficulty of finding a coherent way of comparing the different theories. . . They fit together only in a very complicated and overlapping geometry.” Alan Garfinkel FORMS OF EXPLANATION © 1981 Yale Univ. Introduction p 1.

“Most of the propositions and questions of philosophers arise from our failure to understand the logic of our language. . . It is not humanly possible to gather immediately from it what the logic of language is. . . . Language disguises thought. So much so, that from the outward form of the clothing it is impossible to infer the form of the thought beneath it, because the outward form of the clothing is not designed to reveal the form of the body, but for entirely different purposes." (4.002) WITTGENSTEIN'S DEFINITION OF MEANING AS USE Garth Hallett 1967 Fordham University Press p 8.

“The requirement that games all need a playing field is of far-reaching intellectual importance for several reasons. On the playing field, only the rules of the game apply. The fact that there are rules and playing fields makes games simplifications of life, which can call forth as much effort and attention as anything else but usually are less dangerous and frustrating than real life.” SIMPLICITY & COMPLEXITY IN GAMES OF THE INTELLECT © 1992 Lawrence B. Slobodkin Harvard University Press p 77.

“To get an idea across to others, put it in a frame of reference they are used to.

“It is often claimed that knowledge multiplies so rapidly that nobody can follow it.  I believe this is incorrect.  At least in science it is not true.  The main purpose of science is simplicity and as we understand more things,  everything is becoming simpler.  This of course, goes contrary to what everybody accepts.”  Edward Teller.  Conversations on the Dark Secrets of Physics  1991. Quoted p 284 in THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY BOOK OF 2OTH CENTURY QUOTATIONS © 1992 Stonesong Press.

“There are important differences in the learning styles of the two cerebral hemispheres;  the left is constructive, algorithmic, stepwise, and logical.  It benefits from narrow examples and from trial and error, it can learn by rules.  The right hemisphere, on the other hand, does not seem to learn by exposure to specific rules and examples.  Our studies show that it does not have an internal model of its own solution processes, which it can then interrogate and update.  It [the right hemisphere] needs exposure to rich and associative patterns.”  Earn Zaidel  The Elusive Right Hemisphere of the Brain in Engineering and Science  California Institute of Technology Sept.- Oct. 1978 cited by Betty Edwards in her book DRAWING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN  Simon and Schuster p 11.

“A good way to get through a field of complications is to see all the pathways the experts take.

The pieces cluttered in the jig saw puzzle box are not the puzzle.  They are the parts which will form the answer.  The puzzle is how to connect the parts  (1) according to rules of fit, and  (2) so their surface patterns form some completely unrelated information like ‘see this picture of mountains.’  The value of the activity of connecting the parts is likely not in the picture but more likely in the sense of accomplishment and in the game-like setting that may exist and in the attitude of the puzzlers.

Thus, the task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen; but to think what nobody has yet thought, about that which everybody sees.”  Erwin Schrodinger

“I shall argue that the key to a comprehensive theory of living systems lies in the synthesis of those two very different approaches, the study of substance (or structure) and the study of form (or pattern).  In the study of structure we measure and weigh things.  Patterns, however, cannot be measured or weighed; they must be mapped.  To understand a pattern we must map a configuration of relationships.  In other words, structure involves quantities, while pattern involves qualities.”  Fritjof Capra, physicist and ecologist, in his 1996 book THE WEB OF LIFE The New Scientific Understanding of Living Systems   Anchor Books  Doubleday  p 81.

“The study of pattern is crucial to the understanding of living systems because systemic properties … arise from a configuration of ordered relationships.”   [Capra quoting Robert Lilienfield 1978 THE RISE OF SYSTEMS THEORY p 18, 19] 

“Systemic properties are properties of a pattern.  What is destroyed when a living organism is dissected is its pattern.  The components are still there, but the configuration of relationships among them – the pattern – is destroyed, and thus the organism dies.”   Fritjof Capra, physicist and ecologist, in his 1996 book THE WEB OF LIFE The New Scientific Understanding of Living Systems   Anchor Books  Doubleday  p 81.

“Is there a common pattern of organization that can be identified in all living systems?  We shall see that this is indeed the case  ….  Whenever we encounter living systems -- organisms, parts of organisms, or communities of organisms – we can observe that their components are arranged in network fashion.  Whenever we look at life, we look at networks.”   Fritjof Capra, physicist and ecologist, in his 1996 book THE WEB OF LIFE The New Scientific Understanding of Living Systems   Anchor Books  Doubleday  p 82.
