Survey of Semiotics, Semiosis, Sign Relations • 4

Posted on April 5, 2023 by Jon Awbrey

C.S. Peirce defines logic as “formal semiotic”, using formal to highlight the place of logic as a normative science, over and above the descriptive study of signs and their role in wider fields of play.  Understanding logic as Peirce understands … Continue reading →

Survey of Pragmatic Semiotic Information • 6

Posted on April 4, 2023 by Jon Awbrey

This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on a theory of information which grows out of pragmatic semiotic ideas.  All my projects are exploratory in character but this line of inquiry is more open‑ended than most.  The question … Continue reading →

Survey of Relation Theory • 6

Posted on April 1, 2023 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 →

Sign Relational Manifolds • Discussion 3

Posted on November 11, 2022 by Jon Awbrey

Re: FB | Paradoxology • Alex Shkotin   AS: I see — “sign relation” is a special term for triadic relations of some kind (with some properties);  like this:  thing in first position and thing in second position must refer … Continue reading →
