Boole Cebiri ve Dijital Etkileri
Ünlü İngiliz matematikçi George Boole, cebir konusundaki yöntemlerini mantığa uygulamıştır. Onun bu konuya değindiği eseri, 'Mantığın Matematiksel Analizi' dir ve bu eseri 1847 yılında kaleme almıştır.
Boole taraması- Boole yöntemi-, genel algoritmalara matematiksel bir dil kazandırmıştır. Ona göre, mantık ve matematik birbirlerine sıkı sıkıya bağlıdır. Boole, Aristoteles'in aksine mantığın felsefeyle değil matematikle birlikte anılması gerektiğini savunmuştur.
Boole, mantıksal argümanları, matematiksel olarak değerlendirecek ve çözebilecek bir dile kodlamak üzerine çalışmıştır. Çalışmaları sonucunda da, “Boole Cebiri” olarak bilinen bir tür dilsel matematiği icat etti.
Boole cebiri, ve, veya ve değil terimlerine dayanır. Bu terimler matematiksel kümelerin oluşmasını ve niteliğini anlamamızı sağlar.
Ve: Biraradalık, birliktelik ilişkisini içerir.
Örn: Bina ve beton
Veya: Birbirlerinin yerine geçebilecek, yerine kullanılabilecek öğeler için kullanılır.
Örn: Futbol ya da basketbol
Değil: Sonuçlardan bağımsız olan ve istenmeyen öğeleri anlatır.
Örn: Kitap ve sözlük, ansiklopedi değil
Boole’un sembolleri ve bağlaçları kullanması, matematiksel kimlikler de dahil olmak üzere mantıksal ifadeleri de basitleştirmiştir. Bu yöntemin, gündelik hayata ve elektronik disiplinlere uygulanmaya başlanması sonrasında dijital bilgisayarların temeli haline geldi. Hatta Boole, bilgisayar bilim alanının kurucusu olarak anılmaya başlandı.
Boole'un adı, dijital çağın temelini atan düşünür olarak da geçer. Boole araması, web üzerinde arama yapmanın temel ve en etkili ilkelerini sağlar.

It's my birthday today, which always feels like a time to take account. The last month or two, I've endeavored to channel spates of low mood into the reasonably productive activity of reading, rather than mere vegetation, and I've had good success. I just finished Mircea Cărtărescu's Solenoid—a long novel about a lonely weirdo in communist Romania reckoning with existential dread. Also finished Susan Taubes's Lament for Julia, a novella paired with various short stories, all with a powerful Freudian bent, Taubes being the daughter of a psychoanalyst and prone to autobiographically inflected fiction. Fathers and daughters are locked in strange relation; men and women antagonize each other; there's much angst around the emergence and forcible repression of sexuality and desire. I also completed a reread of Crime and Punishment (impressive in its structure, if not at the line level; conservative, like much of Dostoevsky, in its premises and sympathies, though not without its points when it comes to the weaknesses that certain modes of thought can have when they're adopted carelessly, as vogues, and in arguing for the necessity of humility against despair when one's despair stems, as Raskolnikov's does, from overweening self-regard). And I read Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet—which was a funny one. Much to love in it, certainly. I also felt a bit of a twang reading, say, Rilke's condemnation of "the unreal half-artistic professions"—among which he includes "almost all of criticism"—"which, while they pretend proximity to some art, in practice belie and assail the existence of all art." Oh look, it's the form to which I've apparently pledged my troth, ha ha whoops.
I admit I wasn't blown away by Solenoid as I thought I might be. It offers a slightly banal resolution to existential crisis... That is, that the narrator ultimately meets the horror he spends about six-hundred pages grappling with—of the possibility that he might be trapped within three dimensions when a fourth, superior dimension might exist, meaning (I know this sentence is Going Places, stay with me) a dimension that is not ruled by the determinism by which any dimension is ruled in the eyes of those who can see it from the next dimension on, the same way that the life of, say, a mite might seem determined to us, all unthinking instinct and bound to a terribly specific and minute purpose, given our position as the mite's vast superior—that he counters the tremendous weight of this fear by turning to an abstract love for humanity and the purpose he finds in raising the child he has with his lover, Irina... It reminded me of the commitment to bourgeois normalcy that the protagonist of Antal Szerb's Journey by Moonlight makes, and how that let me down after his Master-and-Margarita-esque path through other, more hallucinatory forms of experience in the first three-quarters of that novel—which promised, I don't know, something more.
But I can understand the turn. And Solenoid does have some terrific setpieces along the way. One is the protest of the "Picketists"—a sect the narrator stumbles upon that stages demonstrations against life's pain and suffering (their signs bear lines like "Down with Death!" "Down with Rotting!" "Down with Accidents!" "NO to Agony!" and "Stop the Massacre!")—before a building in Bucharest that once housed one of the first institutes of forensic medicine, whose cupola bears thirteen statues depicting the soul's dark sides, Sadness, Despair, Fear, Bitterness, Melancholy, Revulsion, Nausea, Mania, Horror, Grief, Nostalgia, Resignation, and Damnation. Most striking is the way that protest ends, with the statue of Damnation—which has come alive, "as alive and slow-moving as soft glass and black as anthracite"—stamping on the lead protestor, Virgil, crushing him, when he asks her whether anything humanity can offer her will ever be enough.
Cărtărescu is also quite skillful at pacing his plot across the novel's 638 pages, as the narrator discovers each of the six solenoids sprinkled across Bucharest—the massive electromagnets that make possible eerie wonders like levitation and serve as engines that, essentially, power the world—and as he endures his own Virgil-like trial among the Picketists at the novel's end. Translator Sean Cotter also deserves a ton of credit, I'm sure. It can't have been easy to translate a narrative like this one, which depends so much on so many references to Bucharest's geography, Romania's history, and the histories of so many figures, so strangely intertwined—the forensic scientist Mina Minovici, who studied death (through, in Cărtărescu's telling, intense bouts of self-strangulation); the psychologist Nicolae Vaschide, who studied dreams, which in the narrator's mind join death as one of two potential means of escape from this world to the next; and the mathematician Charles Howard Hinton, who married Mary Ellen Boole, daughter of mathematician and logician George Boole, whose other daughter, Ethel, married Wilfrid Voynich, famous owner of the Voynich manuscript, which the narrator ultimately comes to possess and, at the novel's end, offers to the goddess Damnation, whereupon its pages somehow morph into a tesseract, the shape that Hinton once theorized as the fourth-dimensional analogue of the cube; the next level of complexity to it, just as the cube is the next-level of the two-dimensional square—thereby permitting the narrator one glimpse, one moment of contact with whatever it is that lies in the fourth dimension, beyond...
So, you know, it's been a time. If you're in the mood for a long novel about an intelligent, sensitive, neurotic thwarted artist confronting the fear that has oppressed his life, that engages whole histories of mathematics, logic, and philosophical thought along the way, you might give Solenoid a shot. Meanwhile, I'll end this with some words from Rilke in his last letter to the young poet, Franz Krappus, when Krappus was twenty-five: "Do you remember how [your] life yearned out of its childhood for the 'great'? I see that it is now going on beyond the great to long for greater. For this reason it will not cease to be difficult, but for this reason too it will not cease to grow." Arrange your life, he tells Krappus, according to that principle which counsels us that we must always hold to the difficult. I'm certainly not in my twenties as I write this, but the lines still inspire.

On the other hand, the knowledge of the laws of the mind does not require as its basis any extensive collection of observations. The general truth is seen in the particular instance, and it is not confirmed by the repetition of instances. We may illustrate this position by an obvious example. It may be a question whether that formula of reasoning, which is called the dictum of Aristotle, de omni et nullo, expresses a primary law of human reasoning or not; but it is no question that it expresses a general truth in Logic. Now that truth is made manifest in all its generality by reflection upon a single instance of its application. And this is both an evidence that the particular principle or formula in question is founded upon some general law or laws of the mind, and an illustration of the doctrine that the perception of such general truths is not derived from an induction from many instances, but is involved in the clear apprehension of a single instance. In connexion with this truth is seen the not less important one that our knowledge of the laws upon which the science of the intellectual powers rests, whatever may be its extent or its deficiency, is not probable knowledge. For we not only see in the particular example the general truth, but we see it also as a certain truth, - a truth, our confidence in which will not continue to increase with increasing experience of its practical verifications.

Do you have any headcanons that are true for most/all of your fanworks even if it’s not always noticeable?
What an interesting question! I'm not sure what you mean tho? If it's what I think it is, then for example c!dream:
My headcanons are that he has an ender eye stolen from XD, meant to be used for locating the revival bool, that his masked is cracked in half where you can only see one eye, that his cloak/cape is always torn and used as a shawl, that he's always watching in the shadows, yearning for that sense of community again.
For c!sapnap: that he's a netherborn centaur/satyr, probably hoglin based. That he has magma chunks stuck to his body that puffs out steam, that his arms are blackened by firepower, that he can survive being in lava
I usually draw the ccs more that the c! versions so I wonder what headcanons I have for the ccs hmm 🤔
That dream wears the smile more sweater all the time, that sapnap wears the same killua hoodie, that george has stubble, that dream has a smile popsocket on a green phone case,

Today I learned that George Boole, of Boolean logic, was the father-in-law of Wilfrid Voynich, of the Voynich manuscript.
They never met - Voynich married Boole's youngest daughter, who was only an infant when Boole died - but still, what a weird small world sort of thing!
I found this out because my dad was thinking about learning a piece of music by Dmitri Shostakovich, and was playing it for me, and mentioned that it came from a movie so I was looking the movie up - it's from the film 'The Gadfly,' which is adapted from a novel written by Ethel Voynich (nee Boole), the daughter/wife in question. Which means that Shostakovich is only 3 degrees of separation from BOTH the invention of Boolean logic AND the Voynich manuscript. Wild!

...it is necessary that each sign should possess, within the limits of the same discourse or process of reasoning, a fixed interpretation. The necessity of this condition is obvious, and seems to be founded in the very nature of the subject. There exists, however, a dispute as to the precise nature of the representative office of words or symbols used as names in the processes of reasoning. By some it is maintained, that they represent the conceptions of the mind alone; by others, that they represent things. The question is not of great importance here, as its decision cannot affect the laws according to which signs are employed. I apprehend, however, that the general answer to this and such like questions is, that in the processes of reasoning, signs stand in the place and fulfil the office of the conceptions and operations of the mind; but that as those conceptions and operations represent things, and the connexions and relations of things, so signs represent things with their connexions and relations; and lastly, that as signs stand in the place of the conceptions and operations of the mind, they are subject to the laws of those conceptions and operations. This view will be more fully elucidated in the next chapter; but it here serves to explain the third of those particulars involved in the definition of a sign, viz., its subjection to fixed laws of combination depending upon the nature of its interpretation.
George Boole, An Investigation of the Laws of Thought
"Do signs represent things or the ideas of things?" - Boole's answer is something along the lines of 'They represent the ideas of things. But ideas are ideas of things; so in that sense, signs do represent things"!

Computerized hardware is a field of gadgets including the investigation of advanced signals and the designing of gadgets that utilization or produce them. This is rather than simple gadgets which work fundamentally with simple signs. Notwithstanding the name, computerized gadgets plans incorporates significant simple plan contemplations.
Advanced electronic circuits are normally produced using enormous gatherings of rationale doors, frequently bundled in coordinated circuits. Complex gadgets might have basic electronic portrayals of Boolean rationale functions.[1]
History The double number framework was refined by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (distributed in 1705) and he additionally settled that by utilizing the paired framework, the standards of math and rationale could be joined. Computerized rationale as far as we might be concerned was the cerebrum offspring of George Boole during the nineteenth 100 years. In a 1886 letter, Charles Sanders Peirce portrayed how sensible tasks could be done by electrical exchanging circuits.[2] Ultimately, vacuum tubes traded transfers for rationale activities. Lee De Woodland's alteration of the Fleming valve in 1907 could be utilized as an AND entryway. Ludwig Wittgenstein presented a rendition of the 16-column truth table as suggestion 5.101 of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921). Walther Bothe, designer of the happenstance circuit, shared the 1954 Nobel Prize in physical science, for making the primary current electronic AND door in 1924
