Constraint-Based Reasoning

Spencer Brown’s startling innovation of defining specific forms to be void-equivalent permits iconic structure to be identified as irrelevant.

Iconic transformation increases information by deleting structure. Deletion increases the density and quality of information.

This new perspective has evolved into constraint-based reasoning. Eliminate what is NOT to arrive at what is possible. Rather than considering a solution, consider all solutions by omitting the non-solutions.

Computation moves forward by deletion of contextually irrelevant and redundant form. The structural independence of all forms makes Rearrangement in space unnecessary.

⇐ Rearrangement of Structure ⇒ Meaning Requires Dualism
