my view, the basis of Peirce is not which term is to be used when and
where - although I acknowledge that such a descriptive outline can be
fascinating for some - but my view is that Peirce is really 'all about
pragmatics'; i.e., the powerful functionality of his analytic
framework when used in examining and explaining our real world, its
operation and our interactions with that world. This analytic
framework - which functions regardless of the terms used - is, to me,
'the basic Peirce' - and can be of great insight in many disciplines.
Here is an example. My minimal computer skills didn't allow me to
copy more than once - so, I've left out the vital title and authors.
It's in the online journal Entropy. The link below should get anyone
interested to the site. My point is NOT to open discussion on the
actual article - but to show how the Peircean analytic framework,
which to me, consists of that dynamic triad [O-R-I] with its subsets
and the powerful three categories - is the basic pragmatic
infrastructure of our entire world.
The article below is about information dynamics - and - note the
terms of 'majority-logic decoding' [another term for 3ns???], and
'single unit transformations' [2ns???]...and entropy [1ns??] ….And
non-equilibrium dynamics [the triadic semiosic process??]
""We investigate the performance of majority-logic decoding in both
reversible and finite-time information erasure processes performed on
macroscopic bits that contain N microscopic binary units. While we
show that for reversible erasure protocols single-unit
transformations are more efficient than majority-logic decoding, the
latter is found to offer several benefits for finite-time erasure
processes: Both the minimal erasure duration for a given erasure and
the minimal erasure error for a given erasure duration are reduced,
if compared to a single unit. Remarkably, the majority-logic decoding
is also more efficient in both the small-erasure error and
fast-erasure region. These benefits are also preserved under the
optimal erasure protocol that minimizes the dissipated heat. Our work
therefore shows that majority-logic decoding can lift the
precision-speed-efficiency trade-off in information erasure
processes. View Full-Text Keywords: finite-time information erasure;
