Your writings of CSP writings over the past several years are a remarkable contribution to understanding the meanings of the scripts. Keep up the excellent work. It could be improved by engaging in the broader concepts needed to bring the propositional logics of chemistry and grammars of various scientific languages such that emergence is a natural consequence. Recent comments about your work are appalling. From my perspective, CSP’s logic is radically different from the hubris of the mathematical community. The system of signs, indices and symbols created by chemists to interpret interpret the logics of material form and material changes challenge the mathematics community’s notions of relations and logic operations. The simple notion that hydrogen and oxygen compose to form water or that the sugars (carbohydrates) are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen amply demonstrates incompleteness of tradition logics of mathematics!
