Survey of Animated Logical Graphs • 6

This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on Logical Graphs, encompassing several families of graph-theoretic structures originally developed by Charles S. Peirce as graphical formal languages or visual styles of syntax amenable to interpretation for logical applications. Beginnings Logical Graphs … Continue reading

Praeclarum Theorema • 3

Re: Praeclarum Theorema • (1) • (2) The steps of the proof are replayed in the following animation. Reference Leibniz, Gottfried W. (1679–1686?), “Addenda to the Specimen of the Universal Calculus”, pp. 40–46 in G.H.R. Parkinson (ed., trans., 1966), Leibniz … Continue reading

Praeclarum Theorema • 2

Re: Praeclarum Theorema • 1 And here’s a neat proof of that nice theorem — Reference Leibniz, Gottfried W. (1679–1686?), “Addenda to the Specimen of the Universal Calculus”, pp. 40–46 in G.H.R. Parkinson (ed., trans., 1966), Leibniz : Logical Papers, … Continue reading

Praeclarum Theorema • 1

The praeclarum theorema, or splendid theorem, is a theorem of propositional calculus noted and named by G.W. Leibniz, who stated and proved it in the following manner. If a is b and d is c, then ad will be bc. This … Continue reading

Logical Graphs • Discussion 9

Re: Logical Graphs • Formal Development Re: Laws of Form • Lyle Anderson LA: The Gestalt Switch from parenthesis to graphs is stimulating.  There are probably things in Laws of Form that we didn’t see because we were blinded by … Continue reading
