	Cabinet Magazine Online - Walter Pitts
		Pitts was among the original participants in the mid-century cybernetics conferences, though he began his association with that group of scientists when he was only a teenager.
		Pitts was only in his 20s during the cybernetics conferences of the 1940s and though he was an autodidact, he had already mastered or could almost instantly absorb the subject matter from the several fields of study engaged by the conferences.
		Consequently, McCullough and Pitts may be regarded as members, nay founders, of a whole clan, rather than only as highly idiosyncratic individuals."3 During the later years of the conferences, as Pitts continued to defend his view of the logical structure of the mind, he could be sharp and inflexible in his critiques.

	Old Ship of Zion: The Afro-Baptist Ritual in the African Diaspora - Walter F. Pitts
		Over a period of five years, Pitts, a scholar of anthropology and linguistics, played the piano at and recorded numerous worship services.
		Pitts demonstrates that African and African-American worship share an underlying binary structure: the somber melancholy of the first ritual frame and the joyful, ecstatic trance of the second frame, both essential to the fulfillment of that structure.
		Of particular interest is his discovery of the way in which the deliberate heightening and strategic suppression of "fl English" contribute to this binary structure of worship.
