Stephen, List,
I can relate to puzzles. Reality presents us with puzzles,
some of which we have to solve or die — others of which are
more fun and we have more leisure to solve them before we die.
Some puzzles we solve by finding a good description or explanation,
others we solve by finding a good plan of action to carry out.
I call those "surprising phenomena" and "problematic situations",
respectively. I've always thought there should be a third class,
but nothing comes to mind right at the moment.
Regards,
Jon

The quote "I puzzle, therefore I am." has a serious subtext. Signs are
primordial and puzzling. If all thought is in signs then the idea of
fallibility is built into the structure of our relationship with what we
call the semiotic. All our statements are efforts to respond to what
essentially remains a puzzle. This should plunge us into something a bit
removed from the certainties that pervade binary culture.

My little thread on Meta and Index had the supreme irony of being

trying to suggest was not what Triadic Philosophy is about.
It can be summed up with a few words - the quote that I give to my
hero(ine) in my novella The Last Drop.
I puzzle, therefore I am. - Dusty Harkness
