A semester begins.

The second semester of the PhD begins today. My courses this time are Directed Study (a constant companion, it seems, until the quals are passed) and Human-Robot Interaction, to which I'm looking forward with much anticipation. My big challenge of the semester is to dial in a problem definition for my main area of research.

I've written a fair opus on my thoughts of how analogical reasoning arises. I'll post a copy of the paper on my tech student site for those interested.
