Duality : Logical and Topological
In using logical graphs there are two types of duality to consider, logical duality and topological duality.
Graphs of the order Peirce considered, those embedded in a continuous manifold like that represented by a plane sheet of paper, can be represented in linear text by what are called traversal strings and parsed into pointer structures in computer memory.
A blank sheet of paper can be represented in linear text as a blank space, but that way of doing it tends to be confusing unless the logical expression under consideration is set off in a separate display.
For example, consider the axiom or initial equation shown below.
![]() |
(3) |
That can be written inline as “( ( ) ) = ” or set off in the following text display.
( ( ) ) =
