Quanta in Context
in Einstein Symposium. Lecture Notes in Physics, Berlin: Springer, Vol. 100, 1979, pp. 180-203. pdf
  • The context of a scientific theory can be epistemological and methodological. Or it can be metaphysical, relating to the intellectual framework within which we cast it. Or it can be intertheoretical, both synchronically and diachronically. My concern here will be mainly diachronical -- the historical context of quantum theory, what is required of it vis -a-vis that context and how well it fulfills this requirement. But I shall come to this only at the later part of this essay. I shall have to clear the 3round by discussing the epistemic and metaphysical contexts first.
Linguistic Communication and Speech Acts
MIT Press (with Robert Harnish)
  • This ambitious book purports to present `the first comprehensive, systematic theory of linguistic communication within the broader framework of social interaction` (dust jacket) -- and, with that framework, to resolve troublesome questions concerning the analysis of meaning, presuppostion, implicature, indirect speech acts, explicit performatives, and hedged performatives. The authors are a philosopher (Bach) and a linguistic philosopher (Harnish).

    B&H's account of linguistic communication is basically pragmatic: hearers recognize utterances as having certain (literal) meanings and illocutionary forces; they make principled inferences about the intentions of speakers meant. (Strangely, the word `pragmatc' does not figure in the explication of the Speech Act Schema [SAS] which B&H elaborate to explicate this process.) -- Review by Georgia M. Green (U. of Illinois), Linguistic Society of America, 1983.

  • ``Habermas has formulated a notion of communicative rationality which takes up this implicit potential [for rationality] and formalizes it into explicit knowledge. The goal is to transform implicit know-how into explicit know-that. In this case, the phenomena that needs to be explicated are the intuitively mastered rules for reaching an understanding and conducting argumentation possessed by subjects capable of speech and action. The result is a complex conception of reason that Habermas sees as doing justice to the most important trends in twentieth century philosophy, while escaping the relativism which characterizes postmodernism, and providing standards for critical evaluation (Habermas, 1992).`` -- Communicative rationality (my links and emphases)
  • ``While Habermas's notion of communicative rationality is contextualized and historicized, it is not relativistic. Many philosophical contextualists take reason to be entirely context-dependent and relative. Habermas holds reason to be relatively context specific and sensitive. The difference is that Habermas explicates the deep structures of reason by examining the presuppositions and validity dimensions of everyday communication, while the relativists focus only on the content displayed in various concrete standards of rationality.`` -- communicative rationality

The ZOG Approach to Man-Machine Communication
Technical Report CMU-CS-79-148, with Donald L. McCracken and Allen Newell, Department of Computer Science, Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA
  • ZOG was an early hypertext system developed at Carnegie Mellon University during the 1970s by Donald McCracken and Robert Akscyn. ZOG was first developed by Allen Newell and George Robertson to serve as the front end for AI and Cognitive Science programs brought together at CMU for a summer workshop. The ZOG project was as an outgrowth of long-term artificial intelligence research led by Allen Newell and funded by the Office of Naval Research.
  • ZOG consisted of frames that contained a title, a description, a line containing ZOG system commands, and selections (menu items) that led to other frames. ZOG pioneered the "frame" or "card" model of hypertext later popularized by HyperCard. In such systems, the frames or cards cannot scroll to show content that is part of the same document but held offscreen. Instead, text that exceeds the capacity of one screen must be placed in another (which then constitutes a separate frame or card).
  • The ZOG database became fully functional around 1977. Beginning in 1980, ZOG was ported from DEC Vax version (written in an experimental language called "L*") to the Pascal-based Three Rivers PERQ workstation and was used for a shipwide 'intranet' on the American aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson. In 1981, Rob Akscyn and Donald McCracken, two principals from the ZOG project, founded Knowledge Systems to develop and market a commercial follow-on to ZOG called "KMS" ("Knowledge Management System").

    Abstract
    Computer systems for clinical consulting on patient management operate on descriptions of medical expertise derived from repositories of systematized knowledge of medicine (textbooks and/or panels of experts) or from empirical situations embedded in medical records. The paper describes MARIS, a conversational system of the latter category, designed to provide relatively powerful consulting services for the management of patients in internal medicine.
