....in a argumentation process and space, which is the main objective of Plewe, Raab, and Schroeder s Ultima Ratio project [22] which creates a 3D world with an animation of the argumentation process and space. Such a visualization is by no means straight forward and canonical. Nelson Goodman argues [12] that there is no fixed meaning for pictures and therefore any visual language for argumentation is arbritary; even though it should be, of course, in itself consistent and intuitive. Section 3 describes Ultima Ratio s visual language for agent internal argumentation and discusses its ....

....on the part of the observer and from all effects of what psychologists call size constancy scaling. It is by virtue of such effects that mountains appear larger to us when we see them than they do when represented for example in a photograph according to the rules of true perspective. Goodman (1968), especially, drew attention to the fact that painterly realism demands that the artist treat horizontal and vertical lines (railway tracks and telegraph poles) in different ways, where the use of true perspective would require an identical treatment. For these reasons Michelangelo and many of his ....

....of the language may provide a de facto replacement of the syntax or, if it is not already adequately defined, a particular substitute. In Section 2 we first consider the general nature of notational characters and the vulnerability of their expression. We then introduce the approach of Goodman [7] to the definition of notational systems as a guide to improved character testing. Such character testing is the essential prerequisite for the overall test for the UML s visual syntax which follows. This test takes the form of two criteria for notational characters and two required mapping ....

....support the generation and parsing of visual sentences has also directed attention away from the need to define satisfactorily the basic visual primitives that will be available. Such definitions have, however, been the subject of careful consideration elsewhere, in particular in work of Goodman [7] about notational systems that will guarantee the integrity of a work of art such as a piece of music as it passes from score to performances and possibly from performance back to score. 2.2. Criteria for testing the syntax of visual modelling languages Visual modelling languages claim one major ....

....form of graphical representation does not lend itself to systematic computational analyses. The theoretical frameworks and formal notations that have been developed for analysing verbal language are not applicable to the syntactically and semantically dense properties of graphical representations (Goodman, 1968). Another reason, as we argue later, may be that there seems to be a pervasive (and possibly unwarranted) assumption that graphical representations must work in a certain way because of their figural nature. Thus many studies are almost black box in their approach to psychological mechanisms. ....

....processed non sequentially, so that a linear representation (such as this sentence) ought never to be described as being genuinely graphical. Hammer neglects to discuss another oft cited property of graphical representations (although most diagrams fail to exhibit it) that of continuity (cf. [2], to which Hammer does not refer) Hammer s conclusion reiterates the point that various diagrammatic systems are amenable to logical analysis, and that metatheoretic results are available for them. He also finds this a suitable place to talk about the motivation for the book that diagrams are ....

....we should look for arguments to take this projection to be an image. 8 Images and the Syntax of the Pictorial Why are we inclined to call contexts of the geometrical field images, but not the contexts on the functional or spatial fields The relevant criterion presented by N. Goodman ( Goo68] restricts the set of concepts in a field, i.e. the set of predicators used there, and the relations between them. In other words, the structures of contexts possible on that field, that is, the syntax governing corresponding propositions (in a very general sense of syntax; cf. Sch91, p. 88] ....

....the pictorial: contexts of such fields with a characteristic syntax are images. Goodman suggests to conceive syntactical density of the system of predicators expressing the geometrical field as an essential and for our purpose (though not generally) sufficient criterion for pictorial systems (cf. Goo68, p. 226] A system of predicators is called syntactically dense if it provides for infinitely many characters [i.e. predicators] so ordered that between each two is a third (cf. Goo68, p. 136] Scholz ( Sch91, p. 97] remarks that this does not mean that any single context of such a field ....
