I think we might be committing something of a category error here with regards
to imitation and the categories. Both imitation and entropy relate to and
depend on all three categories. But imitation and entropy have to do with
integration and disintegration, respectively, and not specifically wi

Gary, thanks for starting your promised(?) thread so quickly. I already see
that there will be much to discuss for those interested in phenomenology.
For one example (and there are others I won't get into now), you and I are
certainly presently not in agreement as to the extent of th

This post follows up on Gary Richmond’s post from yesterday, but I’ve altered
the subject line to eliminate some redundancy and the reference to EGs. I’m
also assuming that Peirce’s definitions of phenomenology and of the phaneron,
which are easily found and quoted, are not enough to give
Helmut - my point about the importance of 3ns in reducing entropy
had nothing to do, I think [I may be wrong] with Autism in any of its
forms [including Asperger's].
I can see, however, that 1sn, in the form of iconicity, reduces

I agree that 'imitation addresses the entropy problem' - but, only
in part. Imitation functions in a mode of Firstness and although it
produces similarity of Type, such a result would decimate the

Stephen,
As a cautionary remark. I found there is an astonishing amount of variation
between people labeled with autism on many different axis. To name just one.
Some start talking about their interest and do not stop, others remain silent.
And with the first some concentrate on facts, others o

Absolutely. The dominance of the genocentric narrative predisposes us to
assuming that there is something inherently "wrong" with the autistic that
needs fixing. A circuitry

The dress of an attendee by a diner caught fire.
Herbert Peirce, a brother, jumped up immediately and extinguished the fire
as it ought to be done. Afterwards Charles asked him how he could have been
so quick and adequate in his response. Herbert answered:
