I
would be happy to learn about what the group has already defined the
word ³Context² to mean.
I said there were many :-) Not from 'the group' (which group?)
but from the broader community, including the participants at the
several context workshops, and contributors to various journals. A
few:
1. The surrounding or preceding text of an occurrence of a word
or phrase, which disambiguates its intended meaning. Usually
restricted to the immediate sentence.
2. Similarly, but applied to a conversation, and meaning the
'common ground' (mutually agreed beliefs, topics, etc.) of the
participants at that point; usually extends well beyond one sentence
or utterance.
3. Similar to 2., but rather than common ground, the actual
physical setting of the conversation, the 'situation' in which it is
taking place
4. A set of assumptions or beliefs providing a temporary focus of
reasoning and used to select particular axioms or theories applied to
a concept or concepts (aka "microtheory")
5. A linguistic or cultural tradition providing the origin of a
text, and which must be taken into account in order to fully extract
the intended meaning of the text.
6. Anything which satisfies the axioms of some 'theory of
contexts'. This of course depends on the theory: they tend to be very
weak theories.
That will probably do for a start.

Thanks
for your help in anticipation of the same and any links relating to
the same.

No, no. We
are a long way past "think of"-style brainstorming. Give us
your actual *definition* of 'context'. Or choose from the large
variety that have already been proposed. If you have no definition,
please come back when you have clarified your thinking well enough to
make a useful contribution, so that the rest of will have some inkling
what it is that you are talking about.

from computer memory stack based on pointers where non-contiguous

of relevant executable code reside.
There are context switching exercises in cultures and people
have
practices of
switching up to eight contexts in a round table
So a context
is something that can be picked up from a table? A physical object?
That IS a new idea. Details??

Duane,
I did not read that document in detail, but from just skimming
it,
I could not
find a definition of the word 'context':

That section talks about "context data", but it does not
give
a definition of the word 'context'.
From what I can gather, the document seems to use the word
'context' in roughly the same way I was suggesting: it is a
syntactic notion that identifies a context by a reference to
some container of the relevant data. It does not state any
axioms for anything remotely resembling a "context
logic".
