Ok, seriously, has anyone heard of this guy? In the process of continuing my work on situating theories of computation within the context of syntactic categories, I found myself down a rabbit hole leading to this thinker. A F Parker-Rhodes' book[0] "The Theory of Indistinguishables" has at the very least a table of contents worth perusing.
The wikipedia article[1] depicts an individual with a diversity of his deep interests, publications and public affiliations resembling the penchants of some I have met through Friam. Somehow it still surprises me when I discover a Lewis Fry Richardson or Per Martin-Löf so late in life. Is A F Parker-Rhodes another of these?
