Hello list.
I’m working on a paper that extends semiotics to quantum mechanics and the subatomic domain, especially in the context of association. Here’s a link to my brief commentary on AI’s assessment of my paper, where I also reflect on the implications of AI’s role in research: https://www.academia.edu/129198681/A_Role_for_AI_in_the_New_Synthesis Within it, there is also a link to my preprint paper that was reviewed by Grok (Grok is X’s resident AI).

Kelly, list I think there is a great deal work using Peirce in different disciplines. My own work looks at societies as complex adaptive systems [CAS] , and biological and physicochemical systems also as CAS and is based on the concepts of energy transformation within a Peircean triadic semiotic process. Eg..”Semiosis is the transformation of energy into organized forms of matter’ and ‘ “in order to exist, energy must be organized into a ‘packet' of finite energy; it must be a sign. Signs are spatiotemporally closed codifications of energy; any and all existential realities are signs- a molecule, a proton, a bird, a human being, a word, a thought, a gesture, a society”…..P 1 .Architectonics of Semiosis 1998]. And all of this is based on Peirce... But there are numerous other people using Peirce in multiple disciplines - in biosemiotics, [Hoffmeyer Emmeche,Kalevi, etc] in AI and ‘intelligent system design [ Emmeche, Queiroz]…. And, once one understands the Peircean framework - it is obvious that much work is done, within a similar framework - but just using different terminology!!

For an example (which may be unique), it extrapolates from Peirce's concept of “logical energy” to what i call “semiotic energy,” and relates this to the analysis of biophysical energy flows which is central to the science of ecology.

Hello list— I’m currently working on an overview of Peirce’s work, and want to include an account of important later developments and applications of his thought. The kind of thing I have in mind are direct applications of Peirce’s ideas, such as John Sowa’s conceptual graphs. I’m interested learning about direct applications of Peirce in any field. I’ll also appreciate references to any published documentation of the connection(s) to Peirce. Thanks much! -- Kelly A.
