[Fis] Workshop announcement

Workshop on Regulation Theory

Regulation Theory is the current name of different concepts relating to
formal logic, natural philosophy and information theory. Its central idea
is that of a self-replicating homeostasis ("the well-ordered system").
Similarity and diversity, and thus the creation of information are
explained by formalised ("Lego") objects of a logical nature. The topic is
absolutely hot, for it may well serve as a rational approach towards
understanding theoretical genetics, and also in other scientific fields.
The workshop is planned as a very small sized event. Prospective
participants should be interested in number theory and combinatorics to
enjoy it. The approach treats a set as an assembly to be seen in two ways:
as a concurrent collection of objects and as a sequenced assembly of
objects. (That is, if you put a collection of cards on the table, you may
discuss, by how many categories and how many degrees within the categories
the cards can be distinguished among each other while they are not dealt at
all, and secondly, if these cards get played out one after the other, how
many varieties are there.) This question is by no means trivial. In fact,
the subject we deal with has not yet been defined in mathematics
(multidimensional partitions). The answers allow understanding (on a
theoretical, number theoretical and combinatorical level) how genetic
functions are organized in an ideal context. (Genetics being an interplay
between a sequence, the DNA, and a nonsequenced entity, however one calls
it: "cell", "system", "whatever"). Logical constants, multidimensional
truth values, structured sets, number theory, multidimensional partitions:
these are the cutting edge concepts of a very sober and rock solid
investigation into how regulatory interdependences function. One uses words
like "most probable state of the set", "overlap structures across subsets",
"structure of the set", "neighbourhood and cyclicity" and the like. This is
definitely non-orthodox but avant-garde.
