Getting back to "overlapping transcendent boundaries" or "viewpoints".
Jim, what do you see as the complexity of using viewpoints for inference and
reasoning?

This sounds like a flexible, multiple-inheritance class hierarchy to me. Or
maybe a map (over conceptual space), with the transitive "part of" relation in
Ryszard Michalski's papers that PM already linked us to. Or any other combined
hierarchical/spatial structure. I think the key novel observation you're
pointing to is that neighboring regions in conceptual space can be grouped
dynamically to define a larger region that makes sense for the current
reasoning context.

I originally came up with the image of overlapping transcendent boundaries
while thinking about how we use logic. When we are considering a group of
related logical propositions we are putting boundaries around those
propositions and imagining them as existing as a complete universe. But if
were to learn or derived some new logical propositions, we do not need to
combine them to use them. We can consider the new propositions as if they
existed as a separate universe of their own. But if we realized that some of
the propositions of one group might have an impact on the other we could
transcend the original boundaries separating the groups. We could combine them
into a larger group or we could take those propositions from the two groups
that directly relate to each other and create a transcendent boundary around
them to consider them as a universe or a domain to themselves. The boundaries
do exist, there may be some overlap in them but we may take a number of means
to transcend those boundaries to use them in consideration of other situations.
This idea of transcendent boundaries can be extended to any systems of ideas.
