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.

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?

Any network theory that limits itself to dyadic relations, that is, links between pairs of nodes only, is already so radically reductionist that it is next to useless for understanding complex systems, especially those that involve symbolic processes or sign-using activity.

It's reprinted in the #EmbodimentsOfMind book.

Yes …

But understanding why a #Peirce-informed #Pragmatism would affirm that requires going back to one of the earliest intimations of #SignRelations as #TriadicRelations in #Aristotle.

Take a gander for now at the following paper and I'll follow up later.

C.S. #Peirce's critique of #Descartes' #Philosophy springs in part from the mathematical fact that #TriadicRelations cannot be reduced to #Compositions of #DyadicRelations.

Here's a bit of a quip on that ;)

@maxpool

The thing I notice here is a tendency to see the world in terms of dualisms and dyadic relations.

When you get used to noticing triadic relations in the world it tends to bring other aspects of things to light.
