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

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.
