The Advent of Formal Diagrammatic Reasoning Systems
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This paper discusses the evolution of formal diagrammatic logics, focusing on those systems which are based on Euler and Venn-Peirce diagrams, and Peirces existential graphs. ...
Since then, certainly a growth in the research field of formal reasoning with diagrams can be witnessed. ...
Acknowledgment The author wants to thank Gem Stapleton from the Visual Modelling Group for her valuable help and provision of diagrams. ...

Heterogeneous Proofs: Spider Diagrams Meet Higher-Order Provers
[chapter]
2011
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We provide a mechanisation of the theory of abstract spider diagrams and establish a formal link between diagrammatic concepts and the existing theories in Isabelle/HOL. ...
We present an interactive heterogeneous theorem proving framework, which performs formal reasoning by arbitrarily mixing diagrammatic and sentential proof steps. ...
Still, the intuitive nature of diagrams motivated the design of formal diagrammatic reasoning systems -for example, spider diagrams [6] and constraint diagrams [3] . ...

Main Problems of Diagrammatic Reasoning. Part I: The generalization problem

Some of the methods are adapted from similar methods used in reasoning with formulae, several other problems constitute new, specifically diagrammatic ways of reliable reasoning. ...

Vivid: A framework for heterogeneous problem solving
2009
Artificial Intelligence
We extend the assumption-base semantics of DPLs to accommodate diagrammatic reasoning by introducing general inference mechanisms for the valid extraction of information from diagrams, and for the incorporation ...
We present novel formal structures, called named system states, that are specifically designed for modeling potentially underdetermined diagrams. ...
Our focus, by contrast, has been precisely the modeling of the reasoning itself-the formal modeling of what "the reasoner does in the course of the reasoning." ...

The Epistemological Import of Euclidean Diagrams (in a non-Euclidean world)
2016
Kairos: Journal of Philosophy & Science
I shall claim that, although the world we live in is not Euclidean, Euclidean diagrams permit to obtain knowledge of the world through a specific mechanism of inference I shall call inheritance. ...
In this paper I concentrate on Euclidean diagrams, namely on those diagrams that are licensed by the rules of Euclid's plane geometry. ...
And this despite the advent of more sophisticated, non-Euclidean, mathematical concepts and formal systems. ...

Zen and the art of formalisation
2011
Mathematical Structures in Computer Science
The problem is, rather, that ordinary mathematical proofs rely on patterns of reasoning-say, combinatorial, geometric, or diagrammatic-that are often difficult to analyze and explain in terms of formal ...
With the advent of interactive proof assistants, we are now beginning to develop substantial corpora of machine-readable mathematics. ...

Typal and typological reasoning: a diagrammatic practice of architecture
2015
Journal of Architecture
Clarifying the concept of type as emerging in parallel with ideas of abstraction and diagrammatic reasoning reveals a richer set of connected problems deriving from architectural practice, pedagogy, and ...
Although not prescriptive in a formal sense, they are concerned with a rational synthesis of form by thinking through conceptual and diagrammatic organisation. ...

Speedith: A Reasoner for Spider Diagrams
2015
Journal of Logic, Language and Information
This allows for other systems to access diagrammatic reasoning via Speedith, as well as a formal verification of diagrammatic proof steps within standard sentential proof assistants. ...
We describe the general structure of Speedith, the diagrammatic language, the automatic mechanism that draws the diagrams when inference rules are applied on them, and how formal diagrammatic proofs are ...
Acknowledgments We thank Jean Flower for her help with iCircles extension, and Charlie Bashford-Chuchla for his implementation of SpiderDrawer as part of his MPhil project in the University of Cambridge ...

If we extend the concept of VP systems to diagrammatic reasoning in general, then we can make a case that VP has some such benefits. ...

What are the fundamental structures of concurrency? We still don't know!
[article]
2014
arXiv
pre-print
Process algebra has been successful in many ways; but we don't yet see the lineaments of a fundamental theory. Some fleeting glimpses are sought from Petri Nets, physics and geometry. ...
Moreover, the need to recognize the spatial structure of distributed systems has become apparent, and is made explicit in formalisms such as the Ambient calculus, and Milner's bigraphs. ...
Consider obvious exemplars such as • Process Calculi • Type Systems • Model-checking It is not the case that there is a single agreed model, notation, formalism, tool or language in any of the above areas ...

The most established conception is usually attributed to Frege, and is characterised by a bottom-up flow of meanings: the meaning of the whole can be derived from the meanings of the parts, and how these ...
At this point we only put forward the intuitive and/or restricted formal definitions, and leave a fully comprehensive definition to future collaborative work. ...
