Jim, List, I'll have to hunt up where we left off with that. I remember looking at the text several times and checking the textual apparatus for any clue, but could not make hide nor hair of it.
Back when I had a bigger university library nearby I once spent a couple of years reeling through the microfilm edition of Peirce's Nachlass all for the sake of a problem like this, and sometimes I found errors in transcription at the root of the problem, but that was back in the days of CP and there were many places where Peirce's typography could not be preserved by the typesetter. Or it could just be a mistake ... Regards, Jon On 6/19/2015 12:36 PM, Jim Willgoose wrote:
Hello Jon, list (puzzle below for experts) I got blown well downwind into conjugacy classes with the 1880 AOL ch. 3. At the time, I was trying to make sense of the continuity of ch.3 with the previous chapters and also the forward historical development of relation logic. I was struck by the questions what am i counting and combining and how many objects are there? Logic, in one sense, got lost somehow. Recently it occurred to me that there are only two objects. But the thread ran out of gas, as far as I am concerned, not only for lack of interest, but for the fact that there never was a satisfactory explanation of the following: W4 p.198 I + J + K = 1 + L + M but does not imply (I + J + K)l = (1 + L + M)l Why? What does this mean? Jim W
