Jon,list.
I have tried to construct a working tree until we get to the form "a:a:b"
which is a more challenging issue than some, I think. I remember from the NLC
(1867) a sort of struggle going on with "mere agreement" and concurrence. I was
struck there that "this" or "that" -----is black turned into a nightmare.
terms
/
non-relative relative
/ /
simple non-simple So,1) "this is black" (b)
only simple non-relative 2) "this stove is black (s,b) 3) "this black stove
is black " (b,b,s) * trouble spot * * I believe in NLC 1867 Peirce
introduced an abstract property "blackness" possessed by black things In sec
4 AOL 1880 Peirce says that singular reference is maintained. My feeling is
that all of these are non-relatives compounded by external operations. I think
of these as compound non-relatives because the operations are external. You
could symbolize Boole : sb = SB1 + SB2 + SB3.....etc. "this" or "that" black
stove. You don't need to bring in property identity, redundancy, or
essentialism. You could, though. Why not? For instance, you could have
logical sums for { Sn.. } xor { Bn.. } xor { SBn.. } such that sosmething that
is a black stove cannot be black or a stove. Jim W > Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2015
