Jerry C, Your post addressed to me is puzzling. I’m not aware of any major shift in my view of Peirce, or any shift with respect to the role of mathematics in his work. And I don’t see that his theory of the composition of concepts has anything to do with musical composition. Nor do I get your point about the “theory of chemistry.” Nor do you appear to get my point about a major shift in Peirce’s thinking. So instead of mutual determination, we seem to have mutual incomprehension!

First on the role of chemistry and now the role of mathematics! If so, then I would suggest that your cognitive patterns are under radical reformation. In fact, the chemical perspective is, then and now, one of compositional illations. Abstractly and Metaphorically, the symbol systems for chemical and musical compositions are comparable with respect to several attributes. Off the record, I have invested many many hours, seeking to interlace the two notational systems, both dependent on the interdependence of individual symbols arranged by composition. Both also deploy unique number symbols that have different meanings than the tradition arithmetic operations. Also, the logic of the arrangements of quantity are different. That being said, CSP’s notion of composition is to constrained for the theory of chemistry, then and now. Cheers Jerry
