Process Grammar: The Basis of Morphology

<p>Leyton's Process Grammar has been applied by scientists and engineers in many disciplines including medical diagnosis, geology, computer-aided design, meteorology, biological anatomy, neuroscience, chemical engineering, etc.&#xa0; This book demonstrates the following:</p> <p>The Process Grammar invents several entirely new concepts in biological morphology and manufacturing design, and shows that these concepts are fundamentally important. </p> <p>The Process Grammar has process-inference rules that give, to morphological transitions, powerful new <i>causal explanations</i>.&#xa0; </p> <p>Remarkably, the book gives a profound <i>unification</i> of <i>biological morphology</i> and <i>vehicle design</i>. </p> <p>The book invents over 30 new CAD operations that realize fundamentally important functions of a product. </p> <p>A crucial fact is that the Process Grammar is an example of the laws in Leyton's Generative Theory of Shape which give the ability to recover the <i>design intents </i>for which the shape features of a CAD model were created. The book demonstrates that the Process Grammar recovers important design intents in biological morphology and manufacturing design. In large-scale manufacturing systems, the recovery of design intents is important for solving the interoperability problem and product lifecycle management. </p> <p>This book is one of a series of books in Springer that elaborates Leyton's Generative Theory of Shape. </p> <p></p>
