Computational AutoGnomics: An Intoduction

Abstract

This chapter introduces an approach to understanding the “origin” and nature of Mind via a new method of integrated inquiry/inference/intuition. The method is concomitantly applicable to the foundations notions (philosophically, formally, and theoretically) which themselves subtend a theory of theory formation. An approach is posited regarding the formalization of an order and its derivative calculus, the latter taken as a formulation of the disorder experientially related to the given order, which also implies a reorder(ing) format that, within a Nonseparable System of order/disorder/reorder Relations, suggests The Form of a meta theory of theory formation. The Form will, in turn, be invoked in formulating a Theory of Intelligence/Mind and its technological implementations as Synthetic Intelligence/Mind, i.e. the AutoGnome, a semiotic machine interpreting C.S. Peirce. The key commercial application of the AutoGnome reported here is that of the IntelliSite (an Intelligent Website generically branded as TrueThinker.com) and its derivative implementations.
