Linguistic Primitives

Many engineering decisions are arbitrary.  In fact sometimes we create problems if for nothing but to solve them.  In this case, the implementation follows what came before and the parts at hand, essentially organic evolution.

A concept at the heart of my recent work breaks down machine functions into indivisible parts.  These parts become the linguistic primitives of a machine description language that can be analyzed, then woven into new ever more complex structures.

Cats love it...

So where was I?  Cats! No. Structure verses symbols!

Our vision begins with a wave of photons bouncing off an object into our eyes and entering our self-grown fine-adjusting organic optical  lenses.  The photons strike the cells with our eyes, transforming from energy into bio-chemical reactions and bio-electrical pulses send along the optical nerve and into the frontal cortex of our brain.  Bio-chemical and electrical transformations continue within the brain, bringing sense to the wash of bio-signals that comprise our vision of the world around us.
