Kelly, list I think there is a great deal work using Peirce in different disciplines.
My own work looks at societies as complex adaptive systems [CAS] , and biological and physicochemical systems also as CAS and is based on the concepts of energy transformation within a Peircean triadic semiotic process. Eg..”Semiosis is the transformation of energy into organized forms of matter’ and ‘ “in order to exist, energy must be organized into a ‘packet' of finite energy; it must be a sign. Signs are spatiotemporally closed codifications of energy; any and all existential realities are signs- a molecule, a proton, a bird, a human being, a word, a thought, a gesture, a society”…..P 1 .Architectonics of Semiosis 1998]. And all of this is based on Peirce... But there are numerous other people using Peirce in multiple disciplines - in biosemiotics, [Hoffmeyer Emmeche,Kalevi, etc] in AI and ‘intelligent system design [ Emmeche, Queiroz]…. And, once one understands the Peircean framework - it is obvious that much work is done, within a similar framework - but just using different terminology!!
