Whitehead Compositionality

Process theory variant requiring all ingredients have clear meaningful ontological counterparts in reality.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

concept

Process Theory
extends
Foundational framework consisting of systems (wires), processes (boxes), and composition (wirings); basis for quantum and compositional reasoning.

question

What is compositionality?
gates
Primary guiding question for the paper; explores multiple formulations and uses of the term.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Central concept: how meaning of wholes depends on meanings of parts and their structural arrangement; multiple formulations explored (Frege, Schrödinger, Whitehead, LEGO).

Summary claim listing four types of compositionality distinguished in the talk
Complete Compositionalityframework0.822
Strongest form of compositional theory requiring full decomposability and meaningful parts.
Frege Compositionalityconcept0.794
Formal linguistic principle: meaning of a whole depends only on meanings of parts and how they are fitted together (bottom-up meaning flow).
Compositional Semanticsconcept0.773
Denotation function µ decomposes over operations so meaning of compound expressions follows from meanings of parts
