Posted on June 26, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on Inquiry Driven Systems, material I plan to refine toward a more compact and systematic treatment of the subject. An inquiry driven system is a system having among its state variables … Continue reading →

Sign Relations • Connotation

Posted on June 24, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

Another aspect of a sign’s complete meaning concerns the reference a sign has to its interpretants, which interpretants are collectively known as the connotation of the sign.  In the pragmatic theory of sign relations, connotative references fall within the projection … Continue reading →

One aspect of a sign’s complete meaning concerns the reference a sign has to its objects, which objects are collectively known as the denotation of the sign.  In the pragmatic theory of sign relations, denotative references fall within the projection … Continue reading →

Sign Relations • Dyadic Aspects

Posted on June 21, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

For an arbitrary triadic relation whether it is a sign relation or not, there are six dyadic relations obtained by projecting on one of the planes of the -space   The six dyadic projections of a triadic relation are defined … Continue reading →

Sign Relations • Examples

Posted on June 16, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

Because the examples to follow have been artificially constructed to be as simple as possible, their detailed elaboration can run the risk of trivializing the whole theory of sign relations.  Despite their simplicity, however, these examples have subtleties of their … Continue reading →

Posted on June 15, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List • Edwina Taborsky A note on a couple of recurring themes may be useful at this point. Peirce’s “metaphorical argument” for transforming discussion of interpretive agents, whether individuals or communities, to discussion of interpretant signs is as … Continue reading →

Re: Sign Relations • Definition Re: Ontolog Forum • Alex Shkotin (1) (2) Regarding Peirce’s definition of a sign linked above, Alex Shkotin writes: A Sign is unusually active in Peirce’s definition: A (a sign) brings B (interpretant sign) into … Continue reading →

Sign Relations • Signs and Inquiry

Posted on June 11, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

There is a close relationship between the pragmatic theory of signs and the pragmatic theory of inquiry.  In fact, the correspondence between the two studies exhibits so many congruences and parallels it is often best to treat them as integral … Continue reading →
