Dear LizR,
George Spencer-Brown's Laws of Form are the place to start...
I am not sure. I can appreciate what he did, and what Kauffman did
from it, but my experience is that to begin with Spencer Brown makes
the study of logic more confusing. It is hard stuff disguised in false
simplicity. That's my feeling. Beginners must grasp standard logic
first, I think.

I just wish I could figure out how to get him (and you!) to
acknowledge that there is a distinction that makes a difference
between a thing and its representation. There are rules and
principles of "distinctions that make a difference"... I am still
learning of those.
I am very amenable to acknowledging that distinction. I am not my
photograph, or my name, or my image in a mirror. The universe is not
the contents of the equations of string theory ... unless it turns
out that it is, of course, but if that is the case, then it's an
exception. Which is probably why some people think Max Tegmark is a
bit of a crackpot.
