III. Modeling/Formal Systems/Epistemo1ogy
(1) Ashby, W. R. An Introduction to Cybernetics. Chapman
and Hall, Ltd., and University Paperbacks, 1956.
An excellent introduction to modelings and representational systems; requires some mathematical background; worth working through carefully.
(2) Bateson, G. Steps to an Ecology of Mind. New York: Ballantine Books, 1972.
We recommend this book highly; it is a collection of Bateson's work. Very entertaining; simultaneously irrelevant and profound.

A highly readable, clear presentation of modeling; emphasizes process.
(4) Carnap, R. The Logical Syntax of Language. Totowa, New jersey: Littlefield, Adams and Company, 1959.
A formal, sophisticated approach to linguistic analysis. A highly technical piece of work; difficult to read.
(5) Copi, I. lntroduction to Logic. New York: Macmillan, 1961.
An excellent introductory text to logical systems.

A classical essay on epistemology, the process of human modeling.
(8) Korzybski, A. Science and Sanity. Lakeville, Connecticut: The International Non-Aristotelian Library Publishing Company, 4th Edition, 1933.
The basic reference work for general semantics. Korzybski understood and discussed clearly the map/territory, intentionall extensional distinctions,. . . in human modeling. Read the Prefaces, Part I, and Part II.
(9) Miller, G. A.; Galanter, E.; and Pribram, K. Plans and the Structure of Behavior. New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc., 1960.
One of the clearest presentations of a theoretical basis for human behavior; suggestions for a representational system for reference structures; easy and enjoyable reading.
(10) Newell, A.; and Simon, H. A. Human Problem Solving. Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice-Hall, 19.71.
An exciting excursion into the neurological basis for human modeling. A clear presentation.
(11) Russel I, B. lntroduction to Mathematical Philosophy. London, England: George Allen and Unwin, Ltd., 2nd Edition, 1921.

(12) Schank, R.; and Colby, K. Computer Models of Thought and Language. San Francisco: W. H. Freeman and Company. 1973.
A good, representative collection of modeling as done in computer simulations.
(13) Tarski, A. Introduction to Logic. New York: Oxford University Press, 1941.
