Demonstrative And Otherwise

Posted on December 17, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

I am constantly encountering what I perceive as echoes of Peircean themes in places where acquaintance with or interest in Peirce’s work is slight at best, and that leaves me with a lot of pent up thoughts that I’ve learned through … Continue reading →

Posted on December 9, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List Discussion • Gary Moore • Stefan Berwing I intend to get back to this subject as soon as possible but the dire political situation in my home state is once again eating up a lot of my … Continue reading →

Triadic Relations, Intentions, Fuzzy Subsets • Discussion 2

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List Discussion • Stefan Berwing Let us put fuzzy sets to one side for the moment and take up the matter of belief you raised, as I believe that connection is very apt. As it happens, there was … Continue reading →

Triadic Relations, Intentions, Fuzzy Subsets : 3

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

There is at present an extensive literature on fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic.  I got another brush with the world of fuzzy in the 1990s when I returned to grad school in a systems engineering program, partly because my adviser … Continue reading →

Triadic Relations, Intentions, Fuzzy Subsets : 2

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

We imagine all the things we might want to talk about in a given discussion as collected together in a set X called a universe of discourse.  (In probabilistic or statistical work it might be called a sample space.) By … Continue reading →

Triadic Relations, Intentions, Fuzzy Subsets • Discussion 1

Posted on December 6, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List Discussion • Stefan Berwing Frequencies, histograms, and probabilities are one way to think about degrees of membership in a fuzzy subset, but there are cautions to be observed in doing that. Consider the following triadic relations: x … Continue reading →

Re: Foundations Of Math Discussion • Lotfi Zadeh Way back during my first foundational crisis (1967–1972), I had been willing to consider almost any alternatives to the usual set theories, so I can remember looking at early accounts of fuzzy … Continue reading →

Abduction, Deduction, Induction, Analogy, Inquiry • 2

Posted on November 21, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List • Kirsti Määttänen Inference from particulars to particulars is also called analogy. Peirce gave a fair account of the logic behind statistical inference, as used in the research sciences from before his time to the present day.  … Continue reading →

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

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 →
