Questions Concerning Certain Faculties Claimed For Signs
Re: Peirce List (1) (2) (3) • Helmut Raulien
The difference between the two definitions of a -place relation in the previous post is sometimes described as decontextualized versus contextualized or, in computer science lingo, weak typing versus strong typing. The second definition is typically expressed in a peculiar mathematical idiom starting out as follows:
A -place relation is a
-tuple

That way of defining relations is a natural generalization of the way functions are defined in the mathematical subject of category theory, where the domain and the codomain
share in defining the type
of the function
The threshold between arbitrary, artificial, or random kinds of relations and those selected for due consideration as reasonable, proper, or natural kinds tends to shift from context to context. We usually have in mind a specific property or quality marking the latter class as proper objects of contemplation relative to the end in view, and so this relates to both the intensional and the intentional views of subject matters.
