In short, we provide a beefed up definition of #DisCoCat where the meaning of words is given not by a #diagram but by a diagram-valued function.

As a concrete example, we take #CharlesSandersPeirce 's existential graphs to go from the #Lambek calculus to logic, i.e. #Montague grammar with diagrams!

Right after putting out a TestFlight update to #DiscoCat in time for Halloween, I discovered a really spooky bug! It’s getting zero results from a service call when in landscape on iPad only! There are no network errors thrown, it just returns an empty array. It works fine in portrait! The low level network code knows nothing about the device orientation or even the device type itself. Only thing i can think of is it’s some kind of Combine issue and being in landscape changes the memory footprint a bit to trigger it. So weird! 👻

Thanks for the boosts and DiscoCat tester signups, folks! I’m already seeing some interesting crashes show up in TestFlight. They are all Core Data related and I think they all may even have the same root cause so hopefully those will be fixed in the next build! #DiscoCat

I somehow just learned about semantic folding
Still trying to learn more about it, but what's really messing with my head is that word embeddings are matrices. Are there any interesting connections to be made between this approach and things like DisCoCat?

"In our own unique way, we’ve succeeded in failing at capitalism by upending its values and coming out on top (of the refrigerator, which all cats know is the “corner office”), and this is what has motivated us to find more hooman ways of working, and eventually success on our own terms."
