Translating from mKR to IKL has forced me to
address
the issue of how to precisely describe
the evolution of
knowledge in space, time, view.
Previously, I said mySpace, myTime were
"quantized"
and linearly ordered. I stand by that, but I suggest a
better term is "discrete". For many applications, the
most appropriate units may be "integer" measures.
The crucial point concerns the nature of actions,
i.e.,
changes in the space, time, view
dimensions.
My original model of an action has a
beginning
with initial conditions, and an end with final
conditions.
The new principle which I wish to add
is
no "instantaneous"
change
In other words, the beginning
and end must be "at"
a different space, time.
Views may change in space, time as
propositions are
added and deleted. The "current" list of
propositions
in view=v at
space=s, time=t is defined by a function
get_proplist(s,t,v)
The "next" list of propositions is "at" a
different
space, time.
Note that the base view --
tabula rasa for mKR,
or the appropriate epistemological view for RDF, OWL, etc. --
does not change with
space, time.
