Survey of Animated Logical Graphs
• inquiryintoinquiry.com/2023/03

This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on Logical Graphs, encompassing several families of graph-theoretic structures originally developed by Charles S. Peirce as graphical formal languages or visual styles of syntax amenable to interpretation for logical applications.

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.

Here's a thumbnail sketch of 's and the first division in the classification of signs, forked from what I wrote for Wikipedia some years ago.

I'll always be talking about Peircean semiotics here.

Up until 15 or 20 years ago folks observed the distinction between 's or and 's , but then some European schools decided the latter term was not sexy enough and they switched. More confusion than fusion ensued. Today we have as much pop semiotics as pop psychology, which is a good when it draws people into the fold but less good when it leaves the field spindled and mutilated.

In the Way of Inquiry • Obstacles 3

One way to test a supposed knowledge is to try to formulate it in such a way that it can be taught to other people. A related test, harder in some ways but easier in others, is to try to formalize it so completely that even a computer could go through the motions that are supposed to be definitive of its practice.

I have in mind circling back to a point in my project on Inquiry Driven Systems, namely the chapter addressing various Obstacles to the Project.

Both types of sign-using systems, and , are prey to the same sort of dysfunction or functional disease — it sets in when users confound signs and objects so severely as to take signs for ends instead of means.

There is a vast literature on this topic, once you think to go looking for it. And it’s a perennial theme in fable and fiction.

There is a deep and pervasive between systems of and systems of , turning on their near-universal use of (images, media, proxies, signs, symbols, tokens, etc.) to stand for (objects, objective values, the things we really care about, or would really care about if we examined our values in practice thoroughly enough).

Well the truth value can me true or false or something else — akin to \(5+5=12\) being a true statement, if one knows what base it involves, else it may be false. The same for \(4+4=10\) being a true statement, if one knows what base it involves.

Yes, reference is relative to a frame of reference. In pragmatic , frames of reference are called .

Thus I was led me to collect a sample of texts where Peirce and a few other writers discuss the issues of definition and determination. There are copies of those selections at the following sites.

Two of the first questions calling for fresh examination were the closely related concepts of definition and determination, not only as used them in his and but as researchers in , , , and found themselves forced to revisit in later years.

In the early 1990s, “in the middle of life’s journey” as the saying goes, I returned to grad school in a program with the idea of taking a more systems-theoretic approach to my development of Peircean themes, from and to and .

1 | My remarks on Facebook regarding the Zeroth Law Of Semiotics and its application to the Liar Paradox prompted Kent Olson to observe, “The liar paradox is a self-referential paradox, yes? I think Russell answered these”. I added the following comment.
