[FRIAM] the woman behind the woman

She had the right idea about FORMAC. Only a reality now with systems like SymPy 50 years later. But an evolved FORMAC would have been better, as it would have been a high performance numerics language too. http://www.pl-enthusiast.net/2017/05/24/jean-sammet-a-remembrance/ ==

Re: [FRIAM] Any non-biological complex systems?

Excellent typology, Eric. 1) Memory, 2) doorways, 3) autonomous, 4) model, 5) control system, and 6) agency. It seems 1-2 are about the boundary. 3 is the closure. 4-5 are proto-semantic, separating what a thing is from what it means. And 6 is the mechanism for ambiguity (symbols, switches, w

Re: [FRIAM] Any non-biological complex systems?

Eric writes: "This creates difficulties like deciding when two things are the same molecule; when two molecules arrived at through different pathways are actually isomorphisms of the same label set, etc. In random network-extension algorithms, this entails solving the graph-isomorphism proble
