Sign Relational Manifolds • 5

Posted on November 1, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

Let me try to say in intuitive terms what I think is really going on here. The problem we face is as old as the problem of other minds, or intersubjectivity, or even commensurability, and it naturally involves a whole … Continue reading →

Sign Relational Manifolds • 4

Posted on October 30, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

Another set of notes I found on this theme strikes me as getting to the point more quickly and though they read a little rough in places I think it may be worth the effort to fill out their general … Continue reading →

Sign Relational Manifolds • 3

Posted on October 23, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

I’m not sure when it was I first noticed the relationship between manifolds and semiotics but I distinctly recall the passage in Serge Lang’s Differential and Riemannian Manifolds which brought the triadic character of tangent vectors into high relief.  I … Continue reading →

A sense of how manifolds are applied in practice may be gleaned from the set of excerpts linked below, from Doolin and Martin (1990), Introduction to Differential Geometry for Engineers, which I used in discussing differentiable manifolds with other participants … Continue reading →

Posted on October 22, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

Riemann’s concept of a manifold, especially as later developed, bears a close relationship to Peirce’s concept of a sign relation. I will have to wait for my present train of thought to stop at a station before I can hop … Continue reading →

Ask Meno Questions • Discussion 3

Posted on October 17, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Stephen Rose In Aristotle’s De Anima or “On the Soul” there is a fine articulation of the universal join between the body and the soul, one so embedded in the marrow of our culture that it moves and shapes … Continue reading →

Paradisaical Logic and the After Math

Posted on April 9, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peter Cameron • Cultures, Tribes, or Just an Illusion? Re: Peirce List • (1) (2) (3) (4) Not too coincidentally with the mention of Peirce’s existential graphs, a tangent of discussion elsewhere brought to mind an old favorite passage … Continue reading →

Peirce’s Law

Posted on October 6, 2008 by Jon Awbrey

Peirce’s law is a logical proposition that states a non-obvious truth of classical logic and affords a novel way of defining classical propositional calculus. Continue reading →

Logical Graphs • Formal Development

Posted on September 19, 2008 by Jon Awbrey

Logical graphs are next presented as a formal system by going back to the initial elements and developing their consequences in a systematic manner. Continue reading →

Logical Graphs • Introduction

Posted on July 29, 2008 by Jon Awbrey

A logical graph is a graph-theoretic structure in one of the styles of graphical syntax that Charles Sanders Peirce developed for logic. Continue reading →
