C.S. Peirce defines “logic” as “formal semiotic”, using “formal” to distinguish the role of logic as a normative science, over and above the more descriptive study of signs in the wild and their antics at large. Understanding logic as Peirce understood it therefore requires a companionstudy of semiotics, semiosis, and sign relations.

This is a Survey of blog and wiki resources on the theory of signs, also known as “semeiotic” or “semiotics”, and the actions referred to as “semiosis” which transform signs among themselves in relation to their objects, all as based on C.S. Peirce's concept of triadic sign relations.

Please follow the above link for the full set of resources.
Articles and blog series on the core ideas are linked below.

Questions have arisen about the different styles of diagrams and figures used to represent triadic sign relations in Peircean semiotics. What do they mean? Which style is best? Among the most popular pictures some use geometric triangles while others use the three‑pronged graphs Peirce used in his logical graphs to represent triadic relations.

Diagrams and figures, like any signs, can serve to communicate the intended interpretants and thus to coordinate the conduct of interpreters toward the intended objects — but only in communities of interpretation where the conventions of interpretation are understood. Conventions of interpretation are by comparison far more difficult to communicate.

That brings us to the first question we have to ask about the possibility of communication in this area, namely, what conventions of interpretation are needed to make sense of these diagrams, figures, and graphs?

This is a Survey of blog posts on Cybernetics. It includes the selections and comments I’ve posted so far on Ashby’s Introduction plus two series of reflections on the governance of social systems in light of cybernetic and semiotic principles.

ah, what do mathematicians know of life’s exigency?
proof is our rock and our soul necessity.
we don’t just make abstractions, we are abstractions.
it’s coffee and doughnuts all the way down …
no one disturbs our vain diagrams
till human voices wake us, and we drown.

Hi Andrius,

At this point I could only recommend getting better acquainted with #Peirce's #Semiotics.

Here's a motley collection of resources from my own #WebWork and related discussions over the years.

The manner of representation may be illustrated by transcribing a well-known example from the #ParallelDistributedProcessing literature (#McClelland and #Rumelhart 1988) and working through a couple of the associated exercises as translated into #LogicalGraphs.

The #PropositionalCalculus based on #MinimalNegationOperators can be interpreted in a way resembling the logic of #ActivationStates and #CompetitionConstraints in one class of #NeuralNetwork models.
