in reply to Will Perl6 be able to do this kind of logic?

zentara,

I can't help you in your quest, but I can say that this reminds me way too much of an article in an old magazine, probably Byte, by Peter Grogono. Peter wrote the influentual book, "Programming in Pascal", and his article was all about implementing multi-state logic in Pascal using sets.

David.

    There is no stopping an idea whose time has come. :-)

    Yeah, it makes sense...a whole bunch of us schoolboys were set on the task of mathematically modelling the universe, right down to the infinitesimal point level. Like in most things math related, eventually everyone comes to the same model...... living objects, each containing an infinite vector space. Of course, then you must consider interactions... and you come up with how sets work.

    I was talking to an old schoolbuddy about it, he is into Social Work, while I was into physics. We both ended up mentioning set dynamics as the key to understanding.

    I find it somewhat serendipitous, that in the programming model, as well as the physical model, the basic unit is a thread.

    Another interesting thing, is the model also emulates humans....each our own process, with shared memories, and infinite variability. So it's almost as if we modelled ourselves to understand the cosmic. Philosopher know thyself, eh?

    heh, heh. I must say the thought just dawned on me, that this model of mine, may be the next greatest thing in Operations Research. :-) So I claim this "independent research" as mine own. There, now that Pascal bum can't patent it on me. :-)

    I feel like Dr. StrangeLove right now, just craddling my idea, waiting for the world to understand. h a ha ha
