Survey of Theme One Program • 5

This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts relating to the Theme One Program I worked on all through the 1980s.  The aim was to develop fundamental algorithms and data structures for integrating empirical learning with logical reasoning.  I had earlier developed separate programs for basic components of those tasks, namely, 2-level formal language learning and propositional constraint satisfaction, the latter using an extension of C.S. Peirce’s logical graphs as a syntax for propositional logic.  Thus arose the question of how well it might be possible to get “empiricist” and “rationalist” modes of operation to cooperate.  The long-term vision is the design and implementation of an Automated Research Tool able to double as a platform for Inquiry Driven Education.
