Semiotics, Semiosis, Sign Relations • Comment 3

Posted on August 12, 2021 by Jon Awbrey

It helps me to compare sign relations with my other favorite class of triadic relations, namely, groups.  Applications of mathematical groups came up just recently in the Laws of Form discussion group, so it will save a little formatting time to adapt … Continue reading →

Re: Semiotics, Semiosis, Sign Relations • Comment 1 Definitions tend to call on other terms in need of their own definitions, and so on till the process terminates at the level of primitive terms.  The main two concepts requiring supplementation in … Continue reading →

Semiotics, Semiosis, Sign Relations • Comment 1

Posted on August 9, 2021 by Jon Awbrey

I opened a topic on Sign Relations in the Logic stream of Category Theory Zulipchat to work on Peirce’s theory of triadic sign relations in a category-theoretic framework. I had been reading Peirce for a decade or more before I found … Continue reading →

Relations & Their Relatives • Comment 3

Posted on August 6, 2021 by Jon Awbrey

Here’s a couple of selections from Peirce’s 1870 Logic of Relatives bearing on the proper use of individuals in mathematics, and thus on the choice between nominal thinking and real thinking. 😸 Mathematical Demonstration & the Doctrine of Individuals • … Continue reading →

Relations & Their Relatives • Comment 2

Posted on August 5, 2021 by Jon Awbrey

Before I forget how I got myself into this particular briar patch — I mean the immediate occasion, not the long ago straying from the beaten path — it was largely in discussions with Henry Story where he speaks of … Continue reading →

Relations & Their Relatives • Comment 1

Posted on August 2, 2021 by Jon Awbrey

I opened a topic on Relation Theory in the Logic stream of Category Theory Zulipchat to discuss the logic of relative terms and the mathematics of relations as they develop from Peirce’s first breakthroughs (1865–1870). As I have mentioned on … Continue reading →

Re: Category Theory • Henry Story HS: I’d be very interested in the comments of people who know about Peirce on the two chapters in the book Diagrammatic Immanence I linked to above on “3. Peirce” and “4. Diagrams of Variation : … Continue reading →

Re: Category Theory • Henry Story HS: I’d love it of course if all of Peirce’s graphs could be mapped to CT.  That would help me integrate that work a lot faster.  Or alternatively, if one could work out exactly … Continue reading →
