Differential Propositions • Qualitative Analogues of Differential Equations —
A differential extension of a universe of discourse [†A†]
is constructed by augmenting its alphabet ‡A‡ with a set of
symbols for “differential features”, in effect “basic changes”
capable of occurring in [†A†]. The additional symbols are taken
to denote primitive features of change, qualitative attributes
of motion, or proposals about the ways items in the universe
of discourse may change or move in relation to features noted
in the original alphabet.
To give the new symbols a name, we define the “differential alphabet”
or “tangent alphabet” d‡A‡ = {“da₁”, …, “daₙ”}, in principle just an
arbitrary set of symbols, disjoint from the initial alphabet ‡A‡ =
{“a₁”, …, “aₙ”} and given the meanings just indicated.
In practice the precise interpretation of the symbols in d‡A‡ is
conceived to be changeable from point to point of the underlying
space A. Indeed, for all we know, the state space A might well
be the state space of a language interpreter, one concerned with
the idiomatic meanings of the dialect generated by ‡A‡ and d‡A‡.
