Propositional and Nonpropositional Perceiving

Field Computation and Nonpropositional Knowledge

Most current AI technology has been based on propositionally represented theoretical knowledge. We argue that if AI is to accomplish its goals, especially in the tasks of sensory interpretation and sensorimotor coordination, then it must solve the problem of representing embodied practical knowledge. Biological evidence shows that animals use this knowledge in a way very different from digital ...

Diagramming the Maya "Classic Motif": The Nonpropositional Pictorial Reasoning of Eternal Victory at Tikal

The nonpropositional pictorial reasoning of eternal victory is exemplified by the nonnarrative, figural concentricity of a clothed, standing ruler and an unclothed, aerially-suspended captive, on two Classic Maya reliefs at Tikal. This concentricity performs a fractal iteration–or, mise-en-abyme–of corporate dynastic eternality–a Maya-specific, transformational ’fold-ing’ of mortal, historical ...

Regulation of Bone Metabolism

Bone is formed through the processes of endochondral and intramembranous ossification. In endochondral ossification primary mesenchymal cells differentiate to chondrocytes and then are progressively substituted by bone, while in intramembranous ossification mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate directly into osteoblasts to form bone. The steps of osteogenic proliferation, differentiation,...
