logical
part of the physical-logical-virtual trilogy of indirection that describes the conceptual cybernetic movement from Real Space to Cyberspace, "logical" describes the way automata re-order and describe the parts of physical reality that they deal with (language=American technical jargon). According to cue/www=http://webopedia.internet.com/TERM/l/logical.html: "(1) Refers to a user's view of the way data or systems are organized. The opposite of logical is physical, which refers to the real organization of a system. For example, a logical description of a file is that it is a collection of data stored together. This is the way files appear to users. Physically, however, a single file can be divided into many pieces scattered across a disk."
