Wittgenstein's Tractatus is an attempt to build a computational language to support thought. It is sparse, clean, austere, a single thought spanning 75 pages. He builds on the Church Turing thesis before Turing, and preempts the logicist program of AI, including its failure.

i think the juxtaposition of the two tomes is instructional. one captures russell's logic and the other refutes it with social. we see this progression in computing science. from object based structures to social. does a word define an object or does its use bring about the word?

I might just be caught in an immature stage, but I don’t think social can be foundational in any way. The problem is dealing with domains that don’t readily yield to low dimensional, discrete operators.
