Laws of Form Distinction


This is a web site inspired by the book Laws of Form by British mathematician George Spencer-Brown. Its sole intent is to make more information available about this pioneering work, and thus to broaden knowledge and appreciation of it. Click the Distinction above to enter.

These web pages were originally created by Jeff James at Interval Research in 1997. I have updated some addresses and links and added a few things, but left James' site mostly unchanged, thus many things are out of date or obsolete. Please email with errors of omission or commission. See also Thomas Wolf's site www.laws-of-form.net.

New! In July 2011, Israeli mathematician Moshe Klein met with GSB in England,
and his report can be found on this web page. GSB was born in 1923.

Note1: There is now a Yahoo group for discussion of Laws of Form and related matters. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lawsofform/.

Note2: We are currently seeking a reference for the review of Laws of Form by Abraham Robinson, journal and year unknown. The review begins "It is always an interesting experience to come across a work in which the author has tried to shape a radically new approach to his subject." If you know where this review appeared, please email rshoup(at)boundary.org.
