Scottish Club
PREAMBLE TO THE SCOTTISH CLUB
Long ago, there was a custom. One would leave a problem on a café table. Sometimes, before a dedicated notebook ever appeared there, a marble tabletop or a paper napkin had to suffice. One would order a coffee, which then grew cold—because the proof mattered more than anything else.
That table stood in Lwów. Ours stands at the crossroads of digital nodes, yet the principle remains the same. Hence, the Scottish Club.
The Club is a place for open, uncombed, and inherently incomplete thought, where alongside absolute certainty, there will always be a safe space for a logical "I don't know." In seeking the elementary foundations for modern computational thought and AI structures, we had to retrace our steps back to Warsaw: to Łukasiewicz’s three-valued logic, Kotarbiński’s reism, and Leśniewski’s mereology. A realm where the relation of part to whole is not a Cantorian illusion, but a rigorous description of a physical individual, governed by the hard laws of the real natural world.
This Club is a space for open, interdisciplinary science and creative social activity. There are no barriers here, nor pre-packaged templates. We bridge the gap between those who can read and track real footprints in the mud of wild valleys, and those who build digital eyes in the air, construct IoT nodes, and program three-state computational structures.
This place does not promise academic honors or closed dogmas. It promises only as much as the table in that long-ago café promised: the right to ask a question that has been lying right in the middle of the table for a hundred years. And it waits for its validation—even if it were to take a form as modest, yet reistically tangible, as a single, finite fruit of a botanical node, placed in a display case as a trophy for a successful attempt to falsify an accepted dogma.
The coffee is growing cold. Let us begin.
