Logical Graphs • First Impressions 6

Duality : Logical and Topological (concl.) We have now treated in some detail various forms of the axiom or initial equation which is formulated in string form as “( ( ) ) =    ”.  For the sake of comparison, let’s record the planar and dual … Continue reading

Logical Graphs • First Impressions 5

Duality : Logical and Topological (cont.) It is easy to see the relation between the parenthetical expressions of Peirce’s logical graphs, showing their contents in order of containment, and the corresponding dual graphs, forming a species of rooted trees to be … Continue reading

Logical Graphs • First Impressions 4

Duality : Logical and Topological (cont.) Last time we took up the axiom or initial equation shown below. (3) We noted it could be written inline as “( ( ) ) =    ” or set off in the following text display. ( ( ) ) =     When we turn … Continue reading

Logical Graphs • First Impressions 3

Duality : Logical and Topological In using logical graphs there are two types of duality to consider, logical duality and topological duality. Graphs of the order Peirce considered, those embedded in a continuous manifold like that represented by a plane sheet of … Continue reading

Logical Graphs • First Impressions 2

Abstract Point of View The bird’s eye view in question is more formally known as the perspective of formal equivalence, from which remove one overlooks many distinctions which appear momentous in more concrete settings.  Expressions inscribed in different formalisms whose … Continue reading

Moving Pictures of Thought A logical graph is a graph‑theoretic structure in one of the systems of graphical syntax Charles S. Peirce developed for logic. Introduction In numerous papers on qualitative logic, entitative graphs, and existential graphs, C.S. Peirce developed several versions of … Continue reading

Theme One Program • Jets and Sharks 2

Example 5. Jets and Sharks (cont.) As we saw last time, Theme One reads the text file shown below and constructs a cactus graph data structure in computer memory.  The cactus graph represents a single logical formula in propositional calculus and … Continue reading

Theme One Program • Jets and Sharks 1

It is easy to spend a long time on the rudiments of learning and logic before getting down to practical applications — but I think we’ve circled square one long enough to expand our scope and see what the category … Continue reading
