Among the subtle shifts in scientific thinking that occurred during
the 19th Century, Boole gave us a functional interpretation of logic,
associating with every propositional expression — in the field we now
plow with boolean algebras, boolean functions, propositional calculus,

Dear listers,
I do not think the title of this thread is well-thought. There is
nothing such as a "Space-Time Continuum" which could be reasonably
discussed about. Even though it is often repeated chain of words.
For the first: Continuity does not mean the same as does 'continuum'. -

I dunno. I'm increasingly coming to feel that Peirce's
architectonic of the universal categories is the lens by which
to view him.

In a broad sense, Sir William Rowan Hamilton anticipated Einstein's
idea that space and time can be conceived as parts of a four dimensional
continuum. In fact, he used the algebra of quaternions to articulate a

Please thank Fernando for his suggestion. The entire volume seems to
have some unique perspectives on Peirce; I will try to obtain a copy
of the entire book.

When I think back to the conceptual changes my first university

The mathematical perspectives and theories that made modern physics possible,
perhaps even inevitable, were developed by many mathematicians, both abstract
and applied, all throughout the 19th Century. There was a definite sea change
