•Investigate the possible role and semantics of gestural logic in concrete contexts

such as local/global musical/robot gesturesand more specific environments...(and more generally: Quiver logic for ANNs,Klumpenhouwer-nets,global networks).

•Investigate a (formal) propositional/predicate language of gestureswith values in Heyting algebras of quivers.
