Dear colleagues, For the measurement of interdisciplinarity, one can use, for example, Rao-Stirling diversity which is defined as follows (Rao, 1982; Stirling, 2007): Δ = Σij pi pj dij (1) where dij is a disparity measure between two classes

Rafael, Joseph, list members, That is an interesting way of putting it, but I think the answer is yes. C.S. Peirce's pragmatacism is aimed at doing exactly that. Mathematical structures and other structural models have no implication of reality in the sense that reality is contingent, so we
