ABSTRACT

The work described in this paper falls within a tradition that focuses on the underlying structure of the artwork, often referred to as the "underlying mathematical structure". Mathematics is a broad term applying to many different activities, but in this context it is formal systems, rather than all mathematical studies, that are of interest. They are covered within specific domains of mathematics. For the purposes of this paper we will consider the structure to be an underlying logical structure. We refer to mathematical logic but not to any particular logical formulation, any of which might be appropriate.
