Alternate Temperaments: Theory And Philosophy
Introduction to tuning systems, based on the cents system. Written by Terry Blackburn.
http://www.rdrop.com/users/tblackb/music/temperament/

Extractions: Back in the old days (as long ago as yesterday in some circles, but nearly 200 years ago for the most part) instrument tuning was anything but a standard art. Clear back in the days of Pythagoras it was recognized that there are problems with creating a perfectly tuned scale. Over the centuries there have been innumerable attempts to create tuning schemes that preserve the richness of perfectly tuned intervals while minimizing and distributing the errors that naturally occur when doing so. CIRCLE OF FIFTHS AND HARMONIC SERIES We'll talk about this 'error' and where it comes from in a minute. In order to continue, we must make some assumptions: First, you are familiar with the circle of fifths (c g d a e b f# c# g# d# a# (e#)f c). Second, you have a general working knowledge of frequency, harmonics (remember that long spring in physics class?) and the harmonic series.

Abstract: We describe a theory of authentication and a system that implements it. Our theory is based on the notion of principal and a speaks for relation between principals. A simple principal either has a name or is a communication channel; a compound principal can express an adopted role or delegated authority. The theory shows how to reason about a principals authority by deducing the other principals that it can speak for; authenticating a channel is one important application. We use the theory to explain many existing and proposed security mechanisms. In particular, we describe the system we have built. It passes principals efficiently as arguments or results of remote procedure calls, and it handles public and shared key encryption, name lookup in a large name space, groups of principals, program loading, delegation, access control, and revocation.

Extractions: February 4, 1992 We describe a theory of authentication and a system that implements it. Our theory is based on the notion of principal and a "speaks for" relation between principals.

The theory shows how to reason about a principal's authority be deducing the other principals that it can speak for; authenticating a channel is one important application. We use the theory to explain many existing and proposed mechanisms for security. In particular, we describe the system we have built.

Extractions: Introduction to Complex Systems by David Kirshbaum Outline of Contents III. Computer Programming approaches used for demonstrating, simulating, and analyzing these characteristics of Complex Systems: Artificial Life Genetic Algorithms Neural Networks Cellular Automata ... Boolean Networks A Complex System is any system which involves a number of elements, arranged in structure(s) which can exist on many scales. These go through processes of change that are not describable by a single rule nor are reducible to only one level of explanation, these levels often include features whose emergence cannot be predicted from their current specifications. Complex Systems Theory also includes the study of the interactions of the many parts of the system. Previously, when studying a subject, researchers tended to use a reductionist approach which attempted to summarize the dynamics, processes, and change that occurred in terms of lowest common denominators and the simplest, yet most widely provable and applicable elegant explanations.

Systems Theory In Archaeology - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
A Middle Range theory could describe any cultural system outside of its specificcultural context, for example, the archaeology of Agriculture.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_theory_in_Archaeology

Extractions: (Redirected from Systems theory in Archaeology Systems theory is not native to archaeology . It originated with the work of Ludwig von Bertalanffy who attempted to construct a theory that would explain the interactions of different variables in a variety of systems, no matter what those variables actually represented. It was thought that any system could be thought of as a group of interacting parts and the relative influence of these parts followed rules which, once formulated could be used to describe the system no matter what the actual components were (Trigger, 1989: 303). This theoretical framework was at one point thought to be the Rosetta Stone for Processualist archaeologists. For years they had floundered trying to find a set of theories that could be used to explain , not just describe, cultural change over time in a scientific manner. Binford stated the problem in New Perspectives in Archaeology , identifying the Low Range Theory, the Middle Range Theory, and the Upper Range Theory. The Low Range Theory could be used to explain a specific aspect of a specific culture, such as the Archaeology of Mesoamerican Agriculture. A Middle Range Theory could describe any cultural system outside of its specific cultural context, for example, the archaeology of Agriculture. An Upper Range Theory can explain any cultural system, independent of any specifics and regardless of the nature of the variables. At the time Binford thought the Middle Range Theory may be as far as Archaeologists could ever go, but in the mid-1970's some believed that Systems Theory offered the definitive Upper Range Theory.

http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/ml/neither.html

Extractions: NEITHER is a propositional theory refinement system that will modify a incomplete or incorrect rule base so as to make it consistent with a set of input training examples. NEITHER has been extended to revise both Horn clauses and M-of-N rules. An iterative greedy method is used to efficiently compute repairs. NEITHER has also been used as part of separate system, ASSERT, which performs student modeling. ASSERT (Acquiring Stereotypical Student Errors using Refinement of Theories) is an intelligent tutoring system which inputs a knowledge base describing a domain and a set of student errors on that domain and outputs a tutoring program tailored to fit student needs. Student behavior on the domain is modeled by collecting any refinements to the knowledge base (made by NEITHER) that were necessary to account for the student's behavior. These models are then used to generated feedback which should help raise student peformance on that domain. The complete NEITHER Software System is available via anonymous ftp . This software contains the following items: The ASSERT Tutoring System The CPP System - The specifics of a C++ Tutorial The NEITHER System PFOIL - a propositional FOIL induction system A system introduction and breakdown, including compilation instructions and execution traces.

Whole Systems
Various postings to wholesysl The essential new quality implied by thequantum theory is that a system cannot be analyzed into parts.
http://www.worldtrans.org/whole.html

Extractions: This area is devoted to the study of whole systems. Nature is a whole system. But also an economy, a family, a company, a community, or many other things, can be looked at as whole systems. A whole system view would include all the factors involved and examine how they relate to each other and how they work as a whole. To deal with a whole system we can't leave anything out as irrelevant. Intuition is as important as rationality, we must address both scientific and artistic approaches, both material and spritual needs, the small as well as the big, what we feel as well as what we think, what we perceive as well as what we imagine. Whole systems are dynamic, they change they move, they develop. Frozen pictures of how things are supposed to be might do us no good, we need to deal with the live systems, whichever surprising directions that might take us in. There is no one authority in the field of whole systems. Luckily nobody has monopolized it by putting it into a standard curriculum defining what it IS. So, we all have the opportunity to discover together what whole systems are about. There is a Whole Systems mailing list for the exploration of whole systems principles, particularly in regards to economic, ecological, sociological and metaphysical transformation of our civilization.

Linear Systems Theory
a good theory about the kind of system we are studying, we can save a lot of timeand energy by using the appropriate theory about the system s responsiveness.
http://www.cns.nyu.edu/~david/linear-systems/linear-systems.html

Extractions: Characterizing the complete input-output properties of a system by exhaustive measurement is usually impossible. When a system qualifies as a linear system , it is possible to use the responses to a small set of inputs to predict the response to any possible input. This can save the scientist enormous amounts of work, and makes it possible to characterize the system completely. These notes explain the following ideas related to linear systems theory: Shift-invariance Examples Step one is to understand how to represent possible inputs to systems. Imagine a picture that shows the structure of the physical stimulus reaching your ear. On the horizontal axis we have time, and on the vertical axis we will plot the instantaneous density of the air molecules at your ear. Thus, we plot signal strength as a function of time. In the case of a simple hand-clap, the disturbance is a short, transient burst and is aptly named an impulse . It looks like a single upwards blip on the graph: the sound pressure momentarily increases when the clap hits your ear. More complex sounds look like more complex graphs on this kind of plot. This sort of graph offers a general way to describe all of the possible auditory stimuli.

http://www.behavenet.com/capsules/treatments/famsys/systems.htm

Extractions: BehaveNet family psychotherapy system/systems theory The most general definition of system [Greek systema, a composite thing] is the ordered composition of (material or mental) elements into a unified whole. The various fields of systems research concentrate on differing aspects or perspectives of the elements and systems . General systems theory , like cybernetics , concerns itself with the functions and structural rules valid for all systems , irrespective of their material constitution. The premises of systems theory are based on the insight that a system as a whole is qualitatively different, and "behaves" differently, from the sum of the system's individual elements. In the framework of family therapy, the application of the term " system " is identical to its application in the field of cybernetics. This concept takes account of system features like feedback , the processing and storage of information adaptability , the ability for self-organization , and the development of strategies for the system's own behavior.*
