Several recent blog postings have brought to mind a congeries of perennial themes out of Peirce. I am prompted to collect what old notes of mine I can glean off the Web, and — The Horror! The Horror! — maybe even plumb the verdimmerung depths of that old box of papyrus under the desk …

Pragmatic Maxim as Closure Principle
o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o Inquiry Driven Systems : Note 23 o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o | Consider what effects that might conceivably have practical bearings you | conceive the objects of your conception to have. Then, your conception | of those effects is the whole of your conception of the object. Consider the following attempts at interpretation: 1. Your concept of x is your concept of the practical effects of x. Not exactly. It seems a bit more like: 2. Your concept of x is your concept of your-conceived-practical-effects of x. Converting to a third person point of view: 3. j's concept of x is j's concept of j's-conceived-practical-effects of x. An ordinary closure principle looks like this: C(x) = C(C(x)) It is tempting to try and read the pragmatic maxim as if it had the following form, where C and E are supposed to be a 1-adic functions for "concept of" and "effects of", respectively. 1-adic functional case: C(x) = C(E(x)) But it is really more like: 2-adic functional case: C(y, x) = C(y, E(y, x)) where: 1. y = you. 2. C(y, x) = the concept that you have of x. 3. E(y, x) = the effects that you know of x. x C(y, x) o------------>o /|\ ^ / | \ = / | \ = / | \ = e_1 e_2 e_3 = \ | / = \ | / = \ | / = \|/ = o------------>o E(y, x) C(y, E(y, x)) The concept that you have of x is the concept that you have of the effects that you know of x. It is also very likely that the functional interpretations will not do the trick, and that 3-adic relations will need to be used instead. o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o
