Semiotics, Semiosis, Sign Relations • Comment 1

I opened a topic on Sign Relations in the Logic stream of Category Theory Zulipchat to work on Peirce’s theory of triadic sign relations in a category-theoretic framework. I had been reading Peirce for a decade or more before I found … Continue reading

Relations & Their Relatives • Comment 3

Here’s a couple of selections from Peirce’s 1870 Logic of Relatives bearing on the proper use of individuals in mathematics, and thus on the choice between nominal thinking and real thinking. 😸 Mathematical Demonstration & the Doctrine of Individuals • … Continue reading

Relations & Their Relatives • Comment 2

Before I forget how I got myself into this particular briar patch — I mean the immediate occasion, not the long ago straying from the beaten path — it was largely in discussions with Henry Story where he speaks of … Continue reading

Relations & Their Relatives • Comment 1

I opened a topic on Relation Theory in the Logic stream of Category Theory Zulipchat to discuss the logic of relative terms and the mathematics of relations as they develop from Peirce’s first breakthroughs (1865–1870). As I have mentioned on … Continue reading

Inquiry Driven Systems • Discussion 8

Re: Category Theory • Simon Burton SB: From what I’ve noticed there are two kinds of mathematical thinking:  manipulating abstract syntax, versus direct experience/perception of concrete mathematics.  These two are intertwined in various ways, but in my experience people generally … Continue reading

Re: Category Theory • Henry Story HS: I place Logic within Mathematics and modal logic is a field of Logic, and so of mathematics.  You will find that modal logic comes up a lot working with machines, programs, and all … Continue reading

Re: Category Theory • Henry Story HS: If one were to think about maths and children’s education one would need to look at the needs of other subjects too.  It should be easy for people here to work out how … Continue reading
