| | Re: Linear logic semantics (Barwise) (353 lines) |
| | Linear logic, like quantum mechanics, identifies the observer and the apparatus. | | | Participant Observation as Linear Negation We are now no longer permitted to view information as an abstraction independent of its carrier but must identify information with information packets as objects of the apparatus. | | | In fact models of linear logic do arise in nature, or Michael Barr would not have been motivated to write about *-autonomous categories in 1979. |

| | Linear Programming FAQ |
| | OPBDP is a C++ implementation by Peter Barth of an implicit enumeration algorithm for solving linear 0-1 optimization problems. | | | Network linear programs can be solved 10 to 100 times faster than general linear programs of the same size, by use of specialized optimization algorithms. | | | If you just want to solve a linear or integer program, however, then you should give some thought in advance to the work that will be involved in compiling a solver library and writing a program to generate your optimization problem, call the solver routines, and process the results. |

| | In doing so, they developed "spelling conventions" to represent sound patterns found in Greek but not in the syllabary. | | | In fact, it is likely that Linear A was used to write the pre-Greek language of Crete, and the incoming Greeks adopted this writing system for their own use, but without changing how the system fundamentally works. | | | The number system of Linear B is fundamentally base-10. |

| | Linear A was used mainly in Crete, though some recent finds have demonstrated that it may have been used as a means of writing in places far removed from the island. | | | Despite the progress made, Linear A has not been deciphered, and although the reading of it has been the prime aim in the first stage, this does not imply an understanding of the texts or the identification of the language. | | | Despite the relatively large number of tablets discovered so far, no literary or historical text has been identified, nor even an example of correspondence, incised in any of these scripts. |

| | Linear B -- decipherment |
| | Early attempts at deciphering Linear B were all based on the assumption that it transcribed an unknown language used only by the Cretans who built Knossos. | | | This theory was supported by the research of Alice Kober, who noticed that similar strings of characters would often have varied endings, which suggested that there were conjugations, as in Latin. | | | Ventris tried many means to break Linear B but the two methods that proved most useful were designing a syllable grid and using frequency analysis. |

| | This book is a lite version of the book John Chadwick co-authored with Michael Ventris called "Documents in Mycenaean Greek" (Cambridge University Press, 1956). | | | The tablets of Minoan writing went through distinct historical changes: there was an early `heiroglypic' writing, then the script matured into pictorial signs called Linear A, which then was replaced by a modified form called Linear B. This book is the story of how the tablets in the Linear B script were read. | | | The Minoans were not Greek and spoke the Cypriot language and so the established hypothesis was that there was some relation between Linear A and B and the Cypriot script. |

| | Linear B was the style of written language used in ancient Crete during (or possibly shortly thereafter) the supposed time of King Minos (of the Minotaur fame). | | | There was also an earlier language called Linear A. Around 1940, at the age of eighteen, in an intellectual tour-de-force Michael Ventris discovered a precise correspondence between the glyphs of Linear B and the syllables of ancient Greek, and thereby enabled the decipherment of that language. | | | It is thought that Minos and the previous Minoan culture were not Greek; but no one has any idea how to decode Linear A.
