I have received (unasked) a digital edition of "Laws of Form" (1969) by G. Spencer-Brown; I have glanced at it, and also at the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_Form. OK, another logical system; logical journals (e.g. by ASL) are full of them, and I am not sure whether this one stands out (beyond having some fuzzy interpretations that made it a "cult classic", as Wiki states). Wiki lists people it has influenced, but my question is: has the system itself gone anywhere, been of any utility in the rest of logic or mathematics (or even philosophy, although this forum is not for that) since then? Is it, in other words, anything more than a historical curiosity?
