Hi Neal, list,


I’ve read a couple papers on Peirce’s Objective Idealism.  In the appendix
of "Peirce's Objective Idealism: A Defense", Claudine Tiercelin mentions
that even experts have trouble classifying Peirce as both a realist and an
idealist.



Without itemizing discussion points (e.g., how determinate is reality,
whether there are vague objects, issues of drawing boundaries between
mental/physical and between physical/physical, etc.), I’d like to offer an
encounter with an ideal natural form (one that we named, but through
measurement), and ask whether you think it’s possible (using modern
technologies, libraries, through interaction with experts) for a community
of inquirers to come to a single, unified, numerical consensus about what
phi spiral abduction means at the end of inquiry.  That is, whether it is
possible for a community of inquirers with genuine doubt to settle on an
objective representation about a perceptual judgment; whether production of
a single objective representation of a complex, ideal natural form is
possible.  The context is only about 500um wide and about 150um deep- but
connected to the rest of the eye.



To get at that question, I used Peircean methods to frame the problem.  It
exposes some technical, intellectual and political challenges but also
provides a more concrete imagination about what factors constitute
objective idealism.  I would ask that you follow development of that symbol
over time and in light of what Peirce says in Awbrey’s link.
