Oyez: Oyez!

The Empire of Logical Wits is proud to announce to other Nations that our great leader just created an imperial grant dedicated to Logical academics who wanted to travel to study other Nations.

If your country is ready to welcome an imperial scientific team of logicians, let sign in as a reply to this post,

Logically yours
Wits

Sure, why not?

The Secular Empire wishes to receive more information about this before it is approved.

The Socialist Republic also wants more information about this program before it can be put in practice.

We are not big supporters of old style logic. If you incorporate brain science, systems theory, and holistic world views we will support your program. But, if you are focused on old style logic we will act against this program. Traditional logic does not match with how the brain works, it creates more problems than it solves. Descartes was wrong.

Your people just want to come here and study? We will welcome you.

given that a lot of nations had the same reaction, I will try to give more details.

We Logicians are a peacefull nation. Moreover, we do not try to have a very powerfull industrial development; we are only curious to understand the (not so logical) world. To reach this goal, our Emperor had the marvelous idea to found some so called "logical research". In your more classical framework, this is like sociological, economical, scientific and ethnological researchs, conducted by Logicians.

Of course (to answer to a question of another nation), our definition of "logic" is broadest than yours. We use multi-modal and temporal logic, lambda calculus, Curry-Howard-like theorems to obtain correspondance between the "real world" (is it so real?) and the abstract world. We also developed probabilistic logic, mainly extending probabilistic proofs theory; fusing it with a new stochastic typing theory (which you should not know).

The typical activity of your "Logical Studying Units" (acronymly: LoSt Units) is to setup in a sociological environment, and to observe and conduct some interviews. A public report is made each month, and an internal report (more technical) is sent to our Departement of Logical Studies (known as the "Lost dept") each week.
A lost unit has typically 11 to 27 members, around 3 of them being administrative staff and the others being scientists in one or more of our logical sciences.

I hope that you will welcome one or more Lost units in your nations after such a description. They will post their monthly public report here.

Logically yours

The Imperial Logical Studies (LoSt) Emissary

At this stage we sent three LoSt units:
- one (11 members) in Jello Biafra
- one (17 members) in Commonalitarianism
- and one (11 members) in Errikland

After much consideration, the Secular Empire has decided to let you within our borders.

Signed,
Emperor Jovan Norris

The Empire of Lydiardia welcomes any logical promotion in a world where logic is seldom at work.

Your visas are, however, subject to periodic renewal and we have assigned three Professor Emeriti to your team to learn with you.

Senior Professor Emeritis Kaplan H. Narcan III
Professor Emeritis Michael S. D. Emerethis
Professor Emeritis Jod Dressler

Your safe passage is assured.

Two more LoSt units have been sent today:
- one in Maraque (11 members)
- one in Lydiardia (14 members, plus 3 Lydiardian Professors)

At this stage we sent three LoSt units:
- one (11 members) in Jello BiafraAre you sure 11 people will be enough? You have over 8 billion people to study here.

Of course, would it be another way?

Are you sure 11 people will be enough? You have over 8 billion people to study here.

you're right, but we will begin by small teams

so let's send another team of 29 scientists to The Holy Empire of Intracircumcordei

Welcome to the Commonalitarianism from Science Minister Albert Ohyes,

We wish to improve the logical faults in our Final Encyclopedia, Greater Synopticon of Entirty, a massive AI information network. The job will be to teach the wetware/ hardware machinery to make logical inferences on what people are asking for, based on illogical or unstructured questions. We also wish to test for faults in logic which allow access to restricted areas in the network. We will be monitoring the testing if possible. In other words we would like to teach the machinery advanced forms of logic.

Regards,

Albert Ohyes

In other words we would like to teach the machinery advanced forms of logic.

It's a huge project, dear fellow logician, and we would be proud to be involved in it. So we can send you a team of 17 logician from multiple logical field to your brave nation.

In regards to this post:http://forums3.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11869980&postcount=168

We are curious about your offer. The Queendom would like to talk more on this. We will be sending a non-UN Representative to speak with whoever is in charge of setting up the loSt team. Please leave any information with Samara Rein - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Queendom of Karmicaria.

And we in the Queendom do thank you for your compliment.

The Republic of Groznyj welcomes your students with open arms. They are welcome to stay at the University of Farbanti in our capital city of Farbanti. We hope they will enjoy the fresh air of the mountain foot-hills and the vast library at the University.

Well as a neighbor, we can set up a small exchange task force to improve our common knowledge.

You would be able to study our own-specialized logical way of taking hard decisions (coin tossing, as you probably know) in our everyday life (based on the assumption that in some cases, action (whatever) is better than procrastination pretending to think....). And we'll improve on how to guess when we are dealing with such kind of decisions (which would prevent some, well, some bad choices made by our own people like when our previous leader thought he could walk on crocodile-infested swamps....).

Our guess is that as a first test, you should decide if you accept this by trying coin-tossing first.

The Empire send a LoSt team of 11 researchers with great pleasure and honor to your wonderfull nation.

Dear Sinless, it seems so logical to us to send a LoSt team to your so interesting nation, that we will logically use a coin with two same faces. 3, 2, 1 .... ok, be ready to welcome a LoSt team of 17 researchers.

Department of Foreign Affairs

Greetings!

Oslea's doors are open to your scientists, feel free to study in our nation! We believe you'll find many interesting things here.

Also, to help improve your learning experience here and help you get around faster, we can provide a modified for civilian use UH-60 Blackhawk to wait for you at the airport.

Markus Bennett
Minister of Foreign Affairs

Our Internal LoSt representative, Sir Lutwig, is proud to welcome your representative, Dear Queen of Karamicaria.

You flatter me good sir, but I am not the queen. As she is currently preparing for her wedding, she has sent me. My name is Samara Rein. I am the Minister of Foreign affairs for The Queendom of Karmicaria. Now, I am a very busy woman these days, so if we could get down to business, it would be greatly appreciated.

Our beloved Emperor toally agree about the numeral superiority of your people on Us. But He thinks that it should be understood as an unique opportunity to exchange. On our side, we could bring you our outstanding perception of Logic, and on your side, your could explain your sharp understanding of diplomacy and military affairs. This exchange could take place inside our Logical Studies (LoSt) program
