John, List: I sincerely appreciate this clarification of your thought process underlying your conjecture that "The primary subject of L376 is Delta graphs." I am not yet persuaded, but I now intend to review the entire letter carefully in light of your proposed interpretation. Again, on my current

Jon, The single most important innovation of Delta graphs is an operator for metalangage or metalogic. Just that one operator, when added to ordinary first-order logic, makes it possible to define a wide range of modal logics and logics for probability. In fact, Peirce's modal logic of 1903 a
