On the Canonical Formula of C. Lévi-strauss

چکیده
which he has found useful in analysing the structure of myths. Maranda’s volume [10] is a useful introduction to this subject, which has a somewhat controversial history [5] among mathematicians. In view of the perspective proposed here (in terms of finite non-commutative groups), I believe that skepticism is quite understandable. Nevertheless, I believe that Lévi-Strauss knows what he means to say, and that difficulties in interpreting his formula are essentially those of translation between the languages of disciplines (anthropology and mathematics) that normally don’t engage in much conversation.

On Jung and Lévi-Strauss unconscious: A brief comparison
Retracing the main common aspects between the anthropological thought and the psychoanalytic one, in this paper we will further discuss about the main common points between the notions of unconscious according to Carl Gustav Jung and Claude Lévi-Strauss, taking into account the Erich Neumann thought. On the basis of very simple elementary logic considerations centered around the basic notion of...
متن کاملG-frames in Hilbert Modules Over Pro-C*-algebras
G-frames are natural generalizations of frames which provide more choices on analyzing functions from frame expansion coefficients. First, they were defined in Hilbert spaces and then generalized on C*-Hilbert modules. In this paper, we first generalize the concept of g-frames to Hilbert modules over pro-C*-algebras. Then, we introduce the g-frame operators in such spaces and show that they sha...
متن کاملThe Sphynx's New Riddle: How to Relate the Canonical Formula of Myth to Quantum Interaction
We introduce Claude Lévi Strauss’ canonical formula (CF), an attempt to rigorously formalise the general narrative structure of myth. This formula utilises the Klein group as its basis, but a recent work draws attention to its natural quaternion form, which opens up the possibility that it may require a quantum inspired interpretation. We present the CF in a form that can be understood by a non...

This paper presents a remarkable formula for spectral distance of a given block normal matrix $G_{D_0} = begin{pmatrix} A & B \ C & D_0 end{pmatrix} $ to set of block normal matrix $G_{D}$ (as same as $G_{D_0}$ except block $D$ which is replaced by block $D_0$), in which $A in mathbb{C}^{ntimes n}$ is invertible, $ B in mathbb{C}^{ntimes m}, C in mathbb{C}^{mti...
