Theory of Pattern
Interpretation
There is freedom in interpretation of the classified subtypes of occasions of pattern but it may be constrained.
Interpreting Patterns
How interpretation is done.
- Start with a consideration for an occasion of pattern.
- Use a sequence of the laws of limitation to derive a meaningful interpretation.
- Map the meaning of the interpretation to an element of experience and give it a representation.
The Problem of the Parentheses
In mathematics, the "order of operations" determines the correct order in which to perform operations. For example, we learn to multiply before we add. If we want to add before we multiply, then we insert parenthesis into the formula to override the default order of operations.
Although there is only one operator in ADEPT LION, the consideration have multiple limitations in them, so we must decide where to put the parentheses.
Freedom and Constraint
We might have hoped that the order in which we apply the limitation laws didn't matter, but it does.
We call the diversity of interpretations that can be derived from a given consideration formula freedom.
And we call the decision about where to put the parentheses a constraint.
And finally, we pick one constraint to be the default interpretation of each consideration.
Disambiguation
The non-default interpretations provided by freedom introduce both subtle distinctions and frank contradictions of the distinct results found in the default interpretations.
Because selection of constraints is independent of the fixed structure of the pattern itself, the assignment of interpretation is a choice. Thus, ADEPT LION provides a formal methodology in pattern for the disambiguation of complex meaning.
