This node of mine is a means for intersubjective optimisation of the reflections I deem eligible for sharing with the world at large. The geographic name-label, refers to a location now in Republic of Ukraine, but formerly – since reformation and later during counter-reformation, during XVI-XVIII centuries – it nicknamed the underground, illegal publications of all sorts, which were very likely to fail the test of the Roman-catholic Church authorities of these times: effectively I’m trying to convey the meaning to the effect like – a citizen’s journalist or a kind of chronicle writer, a contemporary variety of public intelectual activity, under a banner known and identified in the Eastern-Slav territories between todays Poland, Ukraine, Byelorussia, Russia and the baltic states – equivalent to Dostoyevski’s ‘Notices from Within the Underground”. Berdychow – according to a vocabulary of cultural myths of the above named borderline territory – was a synonym for of a futile effort in / for exact identifying of any writer’s (or speaker, questioning person, lucid inquirer etc …) adherence to any creed, political or cultural commitment etc. In a word – I am a correspondend form a no-man’s land / territory [not yet chartered] …. !!!
What is your blog about, what’s in the name – why is it referring to a certain ‘Berdyczow’?

In the role of senior IT / IS Specialist, since Oct. 1988 at Politechnika Warszawska (aka Warsaw Univ. of Technology) Main Library, from 1999 till 2010 I was dealing with content-addressable / semantic networks based taxonomies indispensable in classifying all the incoming information materials in Polish, English, French, German and Russian in the subject areas of mathematics, computing and management. During a parallel stint at International Data Group Poland weekly Computerworld Polska in 1993 - 2002 I was a staff writer and journalist reporting about events of interest for CEO's and CIO's in Polish academic, commercial and industrial institutions and enterprises. Since 1985 I am interested in history of logic, mathematics and computing (history of formal sciences, including mathematical linguistics - in general). During last 15-20 years these interests coalesced into something called cognitive sciences. I am currently preparing a series of papers dealing with challenges to computationalism in philosophy of mind from the multiple standpoints offered by socially constructed (or professional communities' induced) taxonomies / ontologies / worlds / epistemologies.
