Re: [peirce-l] Conceptions Of Locality In Logic And Computation, A History
Steven, I only very quickly scanned the abstract that you linked to, and would ask: With mereology characterized as a theory of collective sets (in opposition to the Cantorian notion of set), and with collective sets defined by means of the "part of" relation, such that mereology can be described as a theory of this relation; How relevant might Lesniewski's mereology be to this discussion, along with all of the other logicians you mention, besides Peirce and Schöder?

Re: [peirce-l] Conceptions Of Locality In Logic And Computation, A History
Dear Irving, The answer is "maybe." I have not spent enough time with Lesniewski's work to say at this point, it's certainly relevant. This and Tarski's work on cylindrical logic are only recently upon my horizon and I am not confident that I will have anything useful to say about either in June.

Re: [peirce-l] Philosophia Mathematica articles of interest
Thank you for publicising that, Irving! Both papers were part of a mini-conference myself and Clemency Montelle organized at the NZ Division of the Australasian Association of Philosophy Conference, in Dec '09. Peirce featured prominently in discussions on the day, which is unusual for Australasian philosophy. Another paper from that mini-conference which is still in advance access, and has a similar theme to the Catton & Montelle paper, is Danielle Macbeth, "Seeing How It Goes: Paper-and-Pencil Reasoning in Mathematical Practice": http://philmat.oxfordjournals.org/content/20/1/58.abstract?sid=2b61ff33-ea 82-434f-9c8d-67675faf094b I would love to hear more about recent publications on Peirce from other list members, though at the same time cognisant of the danger of tipping off a bibliographic deluge.

Peirce, pp. 122-128.

Re: [peirce-l] Conceptions Of Locality In Logic And Computation
Steven, Having only your abstract to go on, I can certainly recognize perennial themes out of Peirce's school, but they have been just as perennially met with incomprehension as they have been brought to the general lack of attention. Most notable among those themes is no doubt the irreducibility of triadic relations, a formal fact that flies in the face of naive reductionism and nominal thinking, no matter how often the fashion in philosophy will resort to them. Then again, having exhausted several decades trying to get these basic facts across, what can I do but repeat what you recited? | The criticism which I make on that algebra of dyadic relations … | is that the very triadic relations which it does not recognize | it does itself employ. For every combination of relatives to | make a new relative is a triadic relation irreducible to | dyadic relations. | | Charles Sanders Peirce, Letter to Victoria Welby, October, 1904 Steven Ericsson-Zenith wrote: Dear List, I am giving a presentation at CiE 2012 in Cambridge (England) in June that may interest list members: Conceptions Of Locality In Logic And Computation, A History http://iase.info/conceptions-of-locality-in-logic-and-computat Your review welcome.

Re: [peirce-l] Conceptions Of Locality In Logic And Computation
Dear Jon, I do understand the frustration, but I am hopeful that I may yet change things. This is one of at least two presentations that I will be making during my visit to Europe. [GA] I am open to other invitations in Europe while I am traveling [/GA] :-) The second presentation (though it is first chronologically) will be at the Isaac Newton Institute event "The Incomputable," a week earlier. Reading through the abstracts I think you will find one or two fellow travelers. My own contribution has just been revised in the light of this CiE presentation, see: Computing With Structure http://iase.info/computing-with-structure Obviously, I am hoping that the combination of the two presentations may stir things up. If I can convincingly show the potential to build machines and inform biophysics with the model then we start to get somewhere. We need cheerleaders for the cause ... :-) With respect, Steven -- Dr. Steven Ericsson-Zenith Institute for Advanced Science & Engineering http://iase.info On Feb 14, 2012, at 7:38 PM, Jon Awbrey wrote: > Steven, > > Having only your abstract to go on, I can certainly recognize > perennial themes out of Peirce's school, but they have been just > as perennially met with incomprehension as they have been brought > to the general lack of attention.
