Re: Sign Relations, Triadic Relations, Relation Theory

Peirce Society https://www.facebook.com/groups/peircesociety/posts/2551077815028195/ ::: Alain Létourneau https://www.facebook.com/groups/peircesociety/posts/2551077815028195?commen… All, Alain Létourneau asks if I have any thoughts on Peirce's Rhetoric. I venture the following. Classically speaking, rhetoric (as distinguished from dialectic) treats forms of argument which “consider the audience” — which take the condition of the addressee into account. But that is just what Peirce's semiotic does in extending our theories of signs from dyadic to triadic sign relations. We often begin our approach to Peirce's semiotics by saying he puts the interpreter back into the relation of signs to their objects. But even Aristotle had already done that much. Peirce's innovation was to apply the pragmatic maxim, clarifying the characters of interpreters in terms of their effects — their interpretants — in the flow of semiosis.

Differential Logic and Dynamic Systems

by Jon Awbrey

Cf: Differential Logic and Dynamic Systems • Overview https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2019/09/10/differential-logic-and-dynamic-sy… All, In modeling intelligent systems, whether we are trying to understand a natural system or engineer an artificial system, there has long been a tension or trade-off between dynamic paradigms and symbolic paradigms. Dynamic models take their cue from physics, using quantitative measures and differential equations to model the evolution of a system’s state through time. Symbolic models use logical methods to describe systems and their agents in qualitative terms, deriving logical consequences of a system’s description or an agent’s state of information. Logic-based systems have tended to be static in character, largely because we have lacked a proper logical analogue of differential calculus. The work laid out in this series of posts is intended to address that lack. Note: The links below will take you to the current OEIS Wiki version of a project I began under the auspices of a Systems Engineering program at Oakland University. I'm about to be shanghaied into a mess of long put off chores but some time this summer I hope to get back to revising the text, redoing the graphics messed over by long ago Mac to PC platform changes, and serializing the content to my blog.

Zeroth Law Of Semiotics

Peirce Society https://www.facebook.com/groups/peircesociety/posts/2757776511024990/ ::: Joseph Harry https://www.facebook.com/groups/peircesociety/posts/2757776511024990?commen… <QUOTE JH:> “Meaning is a privilege not a right” would seem to be a meaningless proposition, since ‘privilege’ and ‘right’ are third-order evaluative, symbolic terms, while ‘meaning’ is a neutral second-order term, implying only existential individualized dynamic activity or process. Driving (a car) is a privilege not a right, but meaning is neither. </QUOTE> Dear Joseph, That may be too literal a reading for Zero‑Aster's poetic figure. If I read the oracle right, the contrast between “privilege” and “right” serves merely to mark the distinction between meanings optional and obligatory. Whether any hint of “private law” or “law unto itself” is intended or involved is something I would have to spend more time thinking about. Regards, Jon

Sign Relational Manifolds

by Jon Awbrey

Cf: Sign Relational Manifolds • 1 http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2022/10/31/sign-relational-manifolds-1-2/ All, Riemann's concept of a manifold, especially as later developed, bears a close relationship to Peirce's concept of a sign relation. I will have to wait for my present train of thought to stop at a station before I can hop another but several recent discussions of geometry have brought this subject back to mind and I thought it might serve to drop off a few mail bags of related letters in anticipation of the next pass through this junction. Here are links to a set of excerpts from Murray G. Murphey (1961), “The Development of Peirce's Philosophy”, discussing Peirce's reception of Riemann's philosophy of geometry. Manifolds of Signs ================== https://web.archive.org/web/20150302021003/http://stderr.org/pipermail/inqu… https://web.archive.org/web/20150206000400/http://stderr.org/pipermail/inqu… https://web.archive.org/web/20150206000800/http://stderr.org/pipermail/inqu… https://web.archive.org/web/20150206000818/http://stderr.org/pipermail/inqu… Later developments of the manifold concept, looking to applications on the one hand and theory on the other, are illustrated by excerpts in the next two posts.
