A nice summary. I would like to note that the Darwin 'tree' shown in 'Exploration of Diagrams' is not a summary of patterns. Rather, an evolutionary tree, or cladogram, is an abductively-derived set of explanatory hypotheses implied by those diagrams. The patterns that prompt our inferences of phylogenetic hypotheses in the form of evolutionary trees are the differentially-shared characters we observe among various organisms.

List,


Thank you, Gary F., for sharing the blog post and the diagrams. I'd like to share a diagram that Terry Moore and I have put together. It is designed to illustrate the same basic relationships--but with a bit more detail. We are using it to clarify the goals of a collaborative research project called Abductive Pathways for Emerging Research Ideas (APERI) involving philosophers and scientists. Let me know if you think anything in the diagram is unclear or seems out of place. Here is a link to the website I'm building to help support the collaborative research:

About - Abductive Pathways <https://sites.google.com/site/abductivepathways/about>
sites.google.com


The APERI project started as a component of the Scalable Peirce Interpretation Network (SPIN) efforts. Over time, we've seen that it was a bit confusing for some people, so we've given the two efforts separate names in order to make the aims clearer. The SPIN project seeks to transcribe and interpret the archival collection of Peirce's unpublished manuscripts. The APERI project seeks to promote collaborative research between philosophers and researchers working in the special sciences. Our hope is that each project will inform and help to inspire the other.

List,

My blog post today is close enough to this subject that I should post this link to it:

http://gnusystems.ca/wp/2016/09/thirdness-and-the-meaning-cycle/

I’m not copying it to the list because it’s so linked in to its context and the diagrams in /Turning Signs/ that you can only read it properly with a browser anyway. You can also read it at

http://gnusystems.ca/TS/ldm.htm#bring2 if you’re interested.
