I notice programming stuff leaks into my thinking and writing often but I actually enjoy the various constructs that help clarify thinking. I don’t have any formal background in logic tho :(

What are some useful and accessible logical tools/operators/symbols that help in thinking+“pseudocode” Edit: definitely useful math/cs/logical symbols are particularly interesting

If you can, please copy/paste the actual unicode symbol or whatever

    It’s math instead of coding for me, but same. That’s what pushed me to SE/PI/PM. Formal Symbolic Logic is going to be where you find pretty much all of the explicit symbols you’re looking for. General System Theory also makes frequent use of differential equations, and if you understand DE than it can provide a helpful framework, but Logic is going to be most of what you want.

        Eh, I haven’t really used it personally but from what I can tell it’s more about formatting than anything else. It would probably be useful if you want to type up any analysis that uses less common symbols, but as far as I know it doesn’t really present symbols which don’t originate elsewhere.
