Survey of Differential Logic • 5

This is a Survey of work in progress on Differential Logic, resources under development toward a more systematic treatment. Differential logic is the component of logic whose object is the description of variation — the aspects of change, difference, distribution, … Continue reading

Survey of Animated Logical Graphs • 5

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

Differential Logic • Discussion 16

Re: Survey of Differential Logic • 3 Re: Laws of Form • Lyle Anderson LA: Thanks for posting this.  Particularly the Differential Logic and Dynamic Systems. It appears this is part of the trail to connecting Forms with Tensors.  Heim … Continue reading

Charles Sanders Peirce, George Spencer Brown, and Me • 16

Re: Conceptual Graphs • Gary Zhu GZ: I’m quite confused on why people are interested in Laws of Form. What is LOF trying to do? Is it just rewriting logic or is there something more fundamental. e.g. a universal algebraic … Continue reading

Logical Graphs, Iconicity, Interpretation • Discussion 2

Re: Logical Graphs, Iconicity, Interpretation • 2 Re: Laws of Form • John Mingers JM: The quote you have given does not match the standard Peircean trichotomy of icon, index, symbol.  See this quote from [CP 4.447 …] Dear John, I … Continue reading

Logical Graphs, Iconicity, Interpretation • Discussion 1

Re: Logical Graphs, Iconicity, Interpretation • 1 Re: Laws of Form • John Mingers JM: I’m impressed that you have read Ricoeur — my impression is that Americans don’t have much time for Continental philosophy (a huge generalisation of course). … Continue reading

Logical Graphs, Iconicity, Interpretation • 2

In the first place there are likenesses or copies — such as statues, pictures, emblems, hieroglyphics, and the like.  Such representations stand for their objects only so far as they have an actual resemblance to them — that is agree … Continue reading

Logical Graphs, Iconicity, Interpretation • 1

If exegesis raised a hermeneutic problem, that is, a problem of interpretation, it is because every reading of a text always takes place within a community, a tradition, or a living current of thought, all of which display presuppositions and … Continue reading

Differential Logic • Discussion 15

Re: Differential Logic • Comment 7 Re: Laws of Form • Lyle Anderson LA: Differentials and partial differentials over the real numbers work because one can pick two real numbers that are arbitrarily close to one another.  The difference between … Continue reading
