Correspondence about publications on the anticipatory we paradigm

Dear Paul,
Thanks for getting back to me.
We would be happy to reconsider your proposal if you
can provide an account of the type of readership you envision and in which way
you propose to rework the texts that are now on line.
Best regards

Bertie,
Excellent,
I assume that this opens the possibility
that John Benjamins would consider publishing a well-developed conference
proceeding on the Knowledge Sciences. I would not be the final editor,
but the community would elect an editorial committee.
The purpose of the book is to
define what might reasonably be called, The Knowledge Sciences, including
topics from:
Human Mark-up Language standard,
Topic Maps standard,
abstract intelligent agents,
data structures,
topological logics,
ecological psychology,
evolutionary psychology,
general systems theory,
complexity theory,
graphical representation of
human concepts,
natural language parsing,
biologically feasible
mathematical models of human brain function,
social network measurement and
modeling, and
models of deep structure in
natural language expressions.
Perhaps this is the next best
step, as it would satisfy several of the community's concerns,
1) by showing
that a diversity of well grounded viewpoints are being integrated into a new
paradigm that better aligns natural science and information science.
2) by publishing
original material written in 2004 or 2005.
I have placed around 30 scholars
in the bcc, and ask that they communicate to me their interest in participating
in conferences and writing a chapter in a book for publication
consideration. A short abstract might help delineate the
topics.
My on line book serves many
purposes, and perhaps should be only available online. I may redevelop
the chapters and put them in pdf format. The history and viewpoint are
really post 2000. I am willing to "complete" it and then
let it be only available on-line.
Paul
