Jon A - yes, that's a good term for some of the 'mechanical reductionism'
comments that sometimes take place here.

Subject: [PEIRCE-L] Re: Mindsets • Relations, Triadic Relations, Sign
Relations
Mike, Jerry, Jon, Edwina, List ...
The Germans have a word for it ... «Einstellung» ...
but never mind that now ...
I only wanted to say what I always say when disputes
about the nature of relations, triadic relations, and
sign relations arise — that the best way for readers of
Peirce to get clear about the nature of relations is to
begin where Peirce began, with his 1870 Logic of Relatives.
It is especially important for people interested in empirical
applications of Peirce's semiotic to acquire fluency with the
extensional definition of triadic relations as sets of triples.
Classifications are important in any science, but it is critical
to be classifying subject matter at the right level of structure.
As it happens, I am planning to continue with the close reading of
Peirce's 1870 Logic of Relatives that I was serializing on my blog,
and I'm thinking it would be good to begin by refreshing my memory
of what has gone before. See the following anchor post:
