Peirce’s 1870 “Logic Of Relatives” • Comment 2

Posted on October 22, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

In a recent post on a related topic I gave this assessment of our present situation: One of the more disconcerting developments, I might say “devolutions”, I’ve observed over the past 20 years has been the general slippage back to … Continue reading →

Peirce’s 1870 “Logic of Relatives” • Comment 1

Posted on October 22, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

Peirce often stressed his Logic of Relatives as the key to unlocking many puzzles.  As I read him, it was Peirce’s drive to understand the Logic of Science that required the grounding of logic in the mathematical forms of triadic … Continue reading →

The Difference That Makes A Difference That Peirce Makes • 27

Posted on October 14, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List • John Sowa It’s been my observation over many decades that people invoke the “ethics of terminology” mainly to inveigh against everyone’s innovations but their own, so these days I’ve shifted my attention to the “pragmatics of … Continue reading →

Posted on October 14, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List • John Sowa Questions about Peirce’s use of “formal” and “normative” in relation to logic and semiotic have arisen on the Peirce List once again, but I have to run off to another appointment, so for now I’ll … Continue reading →

The Difference That Makes A Difference That Peirce Makes • 25

Posted on October 13, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

I’ve been detecting something approaching a mini-zeitgeist lately.  Ideas and issues popping up in recent discussions and readings keep reminding me of themes I first encountered in Peirce’s early work, especially the Lectures on the Logic of Science (1865–1866) and … Continue reading →

Peirce’s 1870 “Logic of Relatives” • Overview

Posted on September 24, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

My long ago encounter with Peirce’s 1870 paper, “Description of a Notation for the Logic of Relatives, Resulting from an Amplification of the Conceptions of Boole’s Calculus of Logic”, was one of the events precipitating my return from the hazier … Continue reading →

Differential Logic and Dynamic Systems • Overview

Posted on September 10, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

In modeling intelligent systems, whether we are trying to understand a natural system or engineer an artificial system, there has long been a tension or trade‑off between dynamic paradigms and symbolic paradigms.  Dynamic models take their cue from physics, using … Continue reading →

Animated Logical Graphs • 30

Posted on August 25, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

The duality between Entitative and Existential interpretations of logical graphs is a good example of a mathematical symmetry, in this case a symmetry of order two.  Symmetries of this and higher orders give us conceptual handles on excess complexity in … Continue reading →
