Van Vogt was always interested in the idea of all-encompassing systems of knowledge (akin to modern meta-systems), the characters in his very first story used a system called 'Nexialism' to analyze the alien's behaviour, and he became interested in the General Semantics of Alfred Korzybski.

 Telegraph | News | Marthe Vogt
Marthe Vogt, who died on September 9, the day after her 100th birthday, was a member of that extraordinary generation of German scientists sometimes described as "Hitler's gift" to the democratic world; unusually, though, she was not Jewish and left Germany not because she had to, but because she detested Naziism.
During the war, Marthe Vogt worked alongside J H Gaddum on the staff of the College of the Pharmaceutical Society in London and was involved in a seminal paper with Wilhelm Feldberg (1948) which demonstrated the regional distribution of cholinergic systems in the brain.
Marthe Vogt was energetic, rigorous and precise in everything she did, and she expected similarly high standards from others.

Vogt's liturgical style left an indelible imprint upon me. He wore a robe, processed behind the vested choir while we all sang the opening hymn, and made all his movements in that large chancel without hurry and with a kind of statuesque dignity.

We doubt not that Ellen Vogt's quiet grace and gentle good humor were true nourishment for her husband's life and that her boys grown to manhood contributed in their way to their father's own astonishing growth down to the latest years.

 Funker Vogt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Funker Vogt is a German EBM band, formed by Gerrit Thomas and Jens Kästel in 1995.
The name of the band translates from German to English as "radio operator Vogt," taken from a friend of the band who was a navigator/operator in the German army.
However, the political stance of Funker Vogt is decidedly anti-war; the band cites "war and social injustice" as their primary topics of discussion, noting that the goal of the album Execution Tracks, along with the accompanying video, was to "present the grotesque cruelties and the tragedy of war."
