Had many discussions with Howard #Pattee 15 or 20 years ago on the old Organization, Complexity, Autonomy (OCA) List and later on the Peirce List, but almost always felt like we were talking past each other. Usually this happens due to a disconnect between dyadic and triadic frames of reference, often stemming from a failure to appreciate the consequences of #TriadicRelationIrreducibility, a core concept in #Peirce's theories of signs and inquiry.
