Posted on May 15, 2021 by Jon Awbrey

This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on Differential Logic, material I plan to develop toward a more compact and systematic account. Note.  One effect of the pandemic has been been to blot out my memory of much … Continue reading →

Re: Peirce List • Robert Marty RM: Thank you for this information.  I happen to have a work in progress (not yet written) on the question of determination.  I discovered that Peirce gave a quite remarkable definition in CP 8.361. “We … Continue reading →

Survey of Animated Logical Graphs • 4

Posted on May 1, 2021 by Jon Awbrey

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 →
