Formalizing the transformations of a cognitive universe
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an effort to continue the pioneering work of Harary in USA and Flament in France, we have undertaken to develop, on an experimental basis, a formalized theory of systems of beliefs and their modifications. This theory uses the psycho-social concepts of theories of cognitive consistency and of the tools of discrete mathematics, such as rewriting and intervals within graphs. The axioms and rewriting rules are elaborated from experimental data, and we demonstrate that the system we have built has the property of termination. This result is in accordance with experimental observations that show that every subject having an inconsistent system of beliefs (i.e., one containing contradictions) makes this system evolve towards consistency to reach a simple, consistent reference framework.

Formalizing Goals and Objectives in Iranian Educational System: A Historical Analysis
Formalizing goals and objectives within any organization is influenced by many socio-historical factors. To identify the trend in which educational goals and objectives within the Iranian educational system have evolved in terms of the approach, pattern, performance, and attending to individual differences, a historical analysis was undertaken. Findings are indicative of four eras: first, the c...
متن کاملRewriting Logic Semantics and Verification of Model Transformations
Model transformations are used in model-driven development for mechanizing the interoperability and integration among modeling languages. Due to the graph-theoretic nature of models, the theory of graph transformation systems and its technological support provide a convenient environment for formalizing and verifying model transformations, which can then be used for defining the semantics of mo...
متن کاملFormalizing Complex Plane Geometry
Deep connections between complex numbers and geometry had been well known and carefully studied centuries ago. Fundamental objects that are investigated are the complex plane (usually extended by a single infinite point), its objects (points, lines and circles), and groups of transformations that act on them (e.g., inversions and Möbius transformations). In this paper we treat the geometry of c...
متن کاملNoether Symmetry in f(T) Theory at the anisotropic universe
As it is well known, symmetry plays a crucial role in the theoretical physics. On other hand, the Noether symmetry is a useful procedure to select models motivated at a fundamental level, and to discover the exact solution to the given lagrangian. In this work, Noether symmetry in f(T) theory on a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type I universe is considered. We discuss the Lagran...
متن کاملThe Qur’an and Mysticism On The Universe of Two Sides
The universe has an exterior known as the material world and an interior called the “hereafter.” So are the Qur’an and mankind. In other words, the universe, mankind and the Qur’an have hierarchical stages. The universe and mankind comprise the physical world, but the Qur’an constitutes the Divine Law. Since the origin of all three is one single source, one can say the former matches t...
