Rich,
 
Objects have form and content - these are concepts or windows through which we look at whatever is there outside. This duality is in body and soul, etc.too.
Now if you do not recognize an object (as something blocking your view in Latin) the  you must control your distance to the object. the distance is basically controlled by emotions - fear if you want to go away - curiosity you want to go closer - the output is action, that is the point.
If you cannot recognize the form, for instance, becauxe the contours are blurred or fuzzy, or the size is too small, etc. and you cannot change focus or distance, then you recognize content based on your previous experience. Content is a property, a product of abstraction, anything you have already seen with a matching property will help.
this is how then you identify it: a UFO
Bootstrapping is needed but you get that through childhood before language is acquired. And to notice a property as matching our stimulus does not call for any verbal clues

Hi Frank,

 

No, it still feels like reverse reasoning ? the answer is logic, lets work back to the question ? and that has always bothered me about how logic really will be effectively applied in AI programs.  FCA intrigues me, but again it starts with the already identified objects and properties, so it also starts with the answer to the question I have:  How are those objects and events identified as individuals, distinguished from each other, and generally disambiguated and tracked through their trajectory in a discourse?

Rich,

If we start with just the two items ? existence detectors and identifiers we still have to define identity

 

This is why it is reasonable to see Relatons, Objects, and Properties as Triplets:

 

Relation: needs at least one object

Objects: existence detectors

Relation: identify (verb) identification (operation)

Property: the result of the above operation to establish existence of identity (identification established) a match with

Object: identifier

 

Does that make sense to you?

Frank

Rich,

My problem with events is the definition of boundaries, the identification of the "pattern" of an event for the purpose of recognition. Although I see events as a sequence of temporaly identifieable entities and not as a chain of cause of effect, because there are many concurrent causes leading to an event (see Petri nets), I still can see how an event remains very vague and arbitrarily identified as changes take place at all sorts of scale and places before they add up to a situation that is no longer identical with the one a second ago. So this approach does not solve the problem of showing the trajectory of learning about things, recording it a manner that serves as a good (and standardized) interface beween FO components.

 

RC> Agreed.  Tiny changes make big differences in chaos theories (butterfly wings ?cause? hurricanes).  If we start with just the two items ? existence detectors and identifiers we still have to define identity.  The only place to go with that is FCA, but that skips over the question of how you identify the objects and properties BEFORE you start clustering them.  There are missing pieces in the math here, or at least the realities are not fully modeled yet.
