Editor’s note: Thank you to for developing and providing this article. What is General Semantics? General Semantics is an over-arching field that tries to integrate: a) what we know about ourselves, b) what we know about the world around us, and c) what that tells us about how we need to be evaluating our experiences. So it includes the physical sciences as well as what’s going…

Since HTML does not have an include directive, I can think only of three workarounds Frames Javascript CSS A little comment on each of the methods. Frames can be either standard frames or iFrames. Either way, you will have to specify a fixed height for them, so this might not be the solution you are looking for. Javascript is a pretty broad subject and there probably exist…

In a new paper out this week in the Journal of Neuroscience (Price et al., 2015), Amy presents data from both fMRI and patients with neurodegenerative disease suggesting that the angular gyrus plays an important role in conceptual combination. Amy designed a clever task in which participants read word pairs that varied in how easily they could be combined into a single concept…

A central theme that you will find throughout Neuro-Semantics, a theme that is consistent with everything we do, is the idea that human experiences inevitably involve an inside-out psychology. This is most explicit in the modeling of wealth creation that I did in the early 1990s and the title of the book, Inside-Out Wealth. It actually took a good bit of time for me to truly…

Measures of Semantic Relatedness are well established in Natural Language Processing. Their purpose is to determine the degree of relatedness between two words without specifying the nature of their relationship. Most of these measures work only between pairs of words in a single language. We propose a novel method of measuring semantic relatedness between pairs of words in…

Section A.14 of the Ada Reference Manual allows implementations to provide a wide variety of behavior if an attempt is made to access the same external file with two or more internal files. To provide a full range of functionality, while at the same time minimizing the problems of portability caused by this implementation dependence, GNAT handles file sharing as follows: In…

What is value and/or reference semantics, and which is best in C++? With reference semantics, assignment is a pointer-copy (i.e., a reference). Value (or “copy”) semantics mean assignment copies the value, not just the pointer. C++ gives you the choice: use the assignment operator to copy the value (copy/value semantics), or use a pointer-copy to copy a pointer (reference semantics)…

Structs are value types (Section 4.1) and are said to have value semantics. Classes, on the other hand, are reference types (Section 4.2) and are said to have reference semantics. A variable of a struct type directly contains the data of the struct, whereas a variable of a class type contains a reference to the data, the latter known as an object. With classes, it is possible…

2.3 Word senses and taxonomies Appendices Word senses As cultures develop, they create or learn about new categories of things, for example, tools, and they then have the need to refer to these new things. Where might the words for the new categories come from? We have seen that words — common nouns — are associated with categories of things. I will refer to those categories…

General semantics , a philosophy of language-meaning that was developed by Alfred Korzybski (1879–1950), a Polish-American scholar, and furthered by S.I. Hayakawa, Wendell Johnson, and others; it is the study of language as a representation of reality. Korzybski’s theory was intended to improve the habits of response to environment. Drawing upon such varied disciplines as relativity…

If you’re anything like me, when you first heard of “semantic search, ” “semantic web, ” and “entities, ” you thought – not more monsters to tame! When did they think these up? Actually, they are all part of the same “monster” and they’ve been around a while, lurking under the bed waiting to come out of their dark corners. But now that they’re out and functioning, they’re more…
