Dear Danko,
You start your paper with a statement
"The mind is a biological phenomenon."
Would it be possible to say that
"The mind is a physical phenomenon"?
How would you define a relationship between a biological phenomenon and
a physical phenomenon?

Dear members of Peirce list,
I would like to bring to your attention the upcoming theoretical
paper in Journal of Theoretical Biology entitled "Practopoiesis: Or
how life fosters a mind". The paper proposes
neurophysiological/cybernetic account of abductive reasoning, as
introduced by Peirce.
As I am not an expert of Perice's work (I am foremost a
neuroscientist) but my theory seems to apply to his contribution to
logic, I would appreciate very much any critical feedback. Have I
understood abduction right? Or did I misted out on something?
Also, if there is anything else relevant from Peirce's work that I
should pay attention to, I would appreciate knowing. For example, the
theory of practopoiesis makes very specific suggestions of how the
meaning (semantics) is dealt with within neural systems. I don't know
how much this particular proposal is in agreement or in discord with
Peirce's work on meaning.
One can download a pre-print of the paper here:

Thank you very much, and please do not hesitate to address to me any
well-deserved criticism.
With best regards,
Danko Nikolic
