Ben, Wilfred,
as a logician/mathematician you virtually have two knobs in front of you.
One is
labeled: wild dreams. On the other you read: self-control. As a
logician/mathematician you turn them _both_ to "maximum power". That's the
trick, if there is any trick. Artistry then is a matter of degree of
course.
Same in mathematics as everywhere else.
I won't be able to write anything till next weekend since I have to work
from
day to night on something totally unrelated. Not exactly bread and butter,
but
cooking; and my customers won't be satisfied if I served them proofs
together
with dormitive virtue in breakfast rolls:-)
I'll come back to the things I promised to address, especially probability
and
what provability and completeness is in the Peircean framework. I haven't
even
mentioned yet what my main evidence is, but I think I can give something
that
should be very usable in terms of Peircean scholarship.
Please be patient with me,
Th.
