Re: Peirce List • Matt Faunce • Jon Awbrey • Jon Awbrey Though my present object has more to do with the logical and mathematical aspects of triadic relations than it does with their psychological embodiments, the following exchange on … Continue reading →

Triadic Relation Irreducibility • 1

Posted on January 17, 2013 by Jon Awbrey

The core insight of Peirce’s conceptual system is the recognition that triadic relations are sui generis, constituting a class by themselves.  Understanding the properties of triadic relations and the consequences of their irreducibility is critical to understanding Peirce’s thought and work.  … 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 →

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 →

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 →
