Inquiry Live and Logic Live

Peircers,

Prompted by observations I had been making over a long period of time about
the problems of fragmentation and increasing insularity in web communities,
and inspired in part by discussions I had been having with Michel Bauwens
of the P2P (Peer2Peer) Foundation, I started a project a few years back
that was intended to explore architectural solutions to these problems
while developing a body of useful content in the process.

As I reflected on the architecture that might be demanded by the task,
at least to make a good beginning at organizing the available resources,
it took on the shape of an elliptical orbit, with content nodes revolving
about two ruling foci, called “Inquiry” and “Logic”, respectively.

Still exploring the possibilities of architecture and information in parallel,
I created a couple of focal wiki pages called “Inquiry Live” and “Logic Live”.

• http://mywikibiz.com/Logic_Live

The “Live” bit indicated a couple of design goals that I had in mind at the time,
inter-activity and the use of animations to illustrate proofs in logical graphs.
I ramified the logic focus by developing a syllabus of logical topics and then
I mirrored and interlinked the whole structure across a number of wiki sites,
regarded as peer installations.

Well, you know how it goes, I got pulled away by the exigencies of life and
unfinished business in other areas, so it's been Spring of 2010 since I had
much chance to work on things there.  To make a longueur story short, our
recent animadversions on Boole, Frege, and Peirce did have the beneficial
side-effect of leading me back to that niche of the web and upgrading
the content, formatting, and links.  So be invited to take a gander
if you're into any of those things.

Regards,

Jon
