Survey of Semiotic Theory Of Information • 2

Posted on February 27, 2017 by Jon Awbrey

This is a Survey of previous blog and wiki posts on the Semiotic Theory Of Information.  All my projects are exploratory in essence but this line of inquiry is more open-ended than most.  The question is: What is information and how … Continue reading →

Survey of Relation Theory • 3

Posted on January 17, 2017 by Jon Awbrey

In this Survey of blog and wiki posts on Relation Theory, relations are viewed from the perspective of combinatorics, in other words, as a topic in discrete mathematics, with special attention to finite structures and concrete set-theoretic constructions, many of … Continue reading →

Re: Peirce List Discussion • Ben Udell The week before last my home office got tossed like a salad into the middle of our bedroom floor while workmen worked on various things that needed re-working.  There’s probably a metaphor of … Continue reading →

Posted on May 12, 2016 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List Discussion • Ben Udell I read Peirce primarily for his insights into logic, mathematics, and science, which are considerable enough to occupy several lifetimes, and I read him the same way I read other thinkers in those … Continue reading →

Readings On Determination • Discussion 3

Posted on April 23, 2016 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Readings On Determination • 1 I keep coming back to Peirce’s early lectures on the logic of science because we see there the first inklings of his prospective theory of information, one of those ideas whose time was ripe … Continue reading →

Readings On Determination • 1

Posted on April 22, 2016 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List (1) (2) The concepts of definition and determination converge in their concern for setting bounds to the point where they coincide at a certain level of abstraction.  One avenue of approach to determination may then begin from a consideration … Continue reading →
