Mesopotaamia jumalanna Nanāia mõjudest Kesk- ja Lõuna-Aasias

Andrew Schumann, Vladimir Sazonov

Mäetagused > 2023 > 85 > 121-136

In this paper we have traced some basic attributes belonging to the Mesopotamian goddess Nanāia, from their origin in the period of Ur III (2112–2004 BC) in ancient Mesopotamia up to the period of the Kuṣāṇas and Kūšānšāhs (from the 1st century AD to the late 4th century AD) in Central and South Asia, and up to the period of their successors – the Kidarites and Hephthalites. We have shown that there...

On the Origin of Indian Logic from the Viewpoint of the Pāli Canon

Andrew Schumann

Logica Universalis > 2019 > 13 > 3 > 347-393

In this paper, I show that in the Pāli Canon there was a tradition of Buddhist logic, but this tradition was weak, and the proto-logic we can reconstruct on the basis of the early Pāli texts can be evaluated as a predecessor of the Hindu logic. According to the textual analysis of the Pāli texts, we can claim that at the time of the closing of the Pāli Canon (excluding the later addition of the Milindapañha...

East-West paths to unconventional computing

Andrew Adamatzky, Selim Akl, Mark Burgin, Cristian S. Calude, more

Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology > 2017 > 131 > C > 469-493

Unconventional computing is about breaking boundaries in thinking, acting and computing. Typical topics of this non-typical field include, but are not limited to physics of computation, non-classical logics, new complexity measures, novel hardware, mechanical, chemical and quantum computing. Unconventional computing encourages a new style of thinking while practical applications are obtained from...

Group theory and p‐adic valued models of swarm behaviour

Andrew Schumann

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences > 40 > 18 > 7438 - 7452

The swarm behaviour can be controlled by different localizations of attractants (food pieces) and repellents (dangerous places), which, respectively, attract and repel the swarm propagation. If we assume that at each time step, the swarm can find out not more than p−1 attractants (

p = 2, 3, ⋯

), then the swarm behaviour can be coded by p‐adic integers, ie, by the numbers of the ring Z_p. Each swarm propagation...

Physarum Polycephalum Syllogistic L-Systems and Judaic Roots of Unconventional Computing

Andrew Schumann

Studies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric > 2016 > 44 > 1 > 181-201

We show that in Kabbalah, the esoteric teaching of Judaism, there were developed ideas of unconventional automata in which operations over characters of the Hebrew alphabet can simulate all real processes producing appropriate strings in accordance with some algorithms. These ideas may be used now in a syllogistic extension of Lindenmayer systems (L-systems), where we deal also with strings in the...

Logics for Physarum Chips

Andrew Schumann, Krzysztof Pancerz

Studia Humana > 2016 > 5 > 1 > 16-30

The paper considers main features of two groups of logics for biological devices, called Physarum Chips, based on the plasmodium. Let us recall that the plasmodium is a single cell with many diploid nuclei. It propagates networks by growing pseudopodia to connect scattered nutrients (pieces of food). As a result, we deal with a kind of computing. The first group of logics for Physarum Chips formalizes...

2015 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS) > 607 - 614

2015 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS)

In the paper, we describe selected functionality of the current version of a new software tool, called PhysarumSoft, developed for programming Physarum machines and simulating Physarum games. The tool was designed for the Java platform. A Physarum machine is a biological computing device implemented in the plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum or Badhamia utricularis that are one-cell organisms able...

Go games on plasmodia of physarum polycephalum

Andrew Schumann

2015 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS) > 615 - 626

2015 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS)

We simulate the motions of Physarum polycephalum plasmodium by the game of Go, the board game originated in ancient China more than 2,500 years ago. Then we concentrate just on Go games, where locations of black and white stones simulate syllogistic reasoning, in particular reasoning of Aristotelian syllogistic and reasoning of performative syllogistic. For the first kind of reasoning we need a special...

Reflexive games in e-university

Andrew Schumann

2015 Science and Information Conference (SAI) > 770 - 775

2015 Science and Information Conference (SAI)

In this paper we propose a model of e-university, where teaching and learning processes are formalized. In this model we appeal to the following two types of games: reflexive games and computer-based problem-solving games. These games are used for seminars and assessments. Reflexive games play a crucial role in grouping courses into one curriculum. Hence, e-university is proposed to be organized by...

The Swarm Computing Approach to Business Intelligence

Andrew Schumann, Krzysztof Pancerz, Andrzej Szelc

Studia Humana > 2015 > 4 > 3 > 41-50

We have proposed to use some features of swarm behaviours in modelling business processes. Due to these features we deal with a propagation of business processes in all accessible directions. This propagation is involved into our formalization instead of communicating sequential processes. As a result, we have constructed a business process diagram language based on the swarm behavior and an extension...

On the history of logic in the Russian Empire (1850–1917)

Andrew Schumann

Czasopismo Techniczne > -

In 1850 a very important decision for the whole history of humanities and social sciences in Russia was made by Nicholas I, the Emperor of Russia: to eliminate the teaching of philosophy in public universities in order to protect the regime from the Enlightenment ideas. Only logic and experimental psychology were permitted, but only if taught by theology professors. On the one hand, this decision...

Syllogistic System for the Propagation of Parasites. The Case of Schistosomatidae (Trematoda: Digenea)

Andrew Schumann, Ludmila Akimova

Studies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric > 2015 > 40 > 1 > 303-319

In the paper, a new syllogistic system is built up. This system simulates a massive-parallel behavior in the propagation of collectives of parasites. In particular, this system simulates the behavior of collectives of trematode larvae (miracidia and cercariae).

Towards New Probabilistic Assumptions in Business Intelligence

Andrew Schumann, Andrzej Szelc

Studia Humana > 2014 > 3 > 4 > 11-21

One of the main assumptions of mathematical tools in science is represented by the idea of measurability and additivity of reality. For discovering the physical universe additive measures such as mass, force, energy, temperature, etc. are used. Economics and conventional business intelligence try to continue this empiricist tradition and in statistical and econometric tools they appeal only to the...

Decisions involving databases, fuzzy databases and codatabases

Andrew SCHUMANN, Jan WOLEŃSKI

Operations Research and Decisions > 2015 > 25 > 3 > 59-72

The authors consider the following three ways of decision making: (i) decisions involving databases by means of standard tools of sequential logic and universal algebra; (ii) decisions involving fuzzy databases by means of fuzzy logic; (iii) decision involving continuously growing databases (codatabases) using the tools of Bayesian networks.

Non-linear permutation groups on Physarum polycephalum

Andrew Schumann

The 2014 2nd International Conference on Systems and Informatics (ICSAI 2014) > 246 - 251

2014 2nd International Conference on Systems and Informatics (ICSAI)

One of the modern directions of unconventional computing is presented by biological computing. The new branch of this direction deals with computing on Physarum polycephalum, the one-cell organism building intelligent networks. In this paper, first, we propose the design method of reversible logic gates by using attractants and repellents as outer stimuli for Physarum polycephalum. This method is...

p-Adic valued fuzzyness and experiments with physarum polycephalum

Andrew Schumann

2014 11th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD) > 466 - 472

2014 11th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD)

The slime mould is considered a natural fuzzy processor with fuzzy values on the set of p-adic integers. The point is that in any experiment with the slime mould we deal with attractants which can be placed differently to obtain different topologies and to induce different transitions of the slime mould. If the set Ω of attractants, involved into the experiment, has the cardinality number p−1, then...

Principles of an object-oriented programming language for Physarum polycephalum computing

Krzysztof Pancerz, Andrew Schumann

The 10th International Conference on Digital Technologies 2014 > 262 - 269

2014 International Conference on Digital Technologies (DT)

In the paper, we present principles of an object-oriented programming language for Physarum polycephalum computing. Physarum polycephalum is a one-cell organism that can be used for developing a biological architecture of different abstract devices. Both, theoretical foundations and assumptions for a language specification are considered. Especially, we focus on selected approaches (ladder diagrams,...

Probabilities on streams and reflexive games

Andrew SCHUMANN

Operations Research and Decisions > 2014 > 24 > 1 > 71-96

Probability measures on streams (e.g. on hypernumbers and p-adic numbers) have been defined. It was shown that these probabilities can be used for simulations of reflexive games. In particular, it can be proved that Aumann’s agreement theorem does not hold for these probabilities. Instead of this theorem, there is a statement that is called the reflexion disagreement theorem. Based on this theorem,...

Unconventional logic for massively parallel reasoning

Andrew Schumann

2013 6th International Conference on Human System Interactions (HSI) > 298 - 305

2013 6th International Conference on Human System Interactions (HSI)

In this paper, unconventional logic for massive-parallel reasoning is introduced and two examples of simulating natural processes by means of this logic are regarded: chemical (Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction) and biological (dynamics of plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum). In unconventional logic well-formed formulas are defined as streams and there are possible so-called wave sets of formulas (where...
