Stephen, List,
I like messages that are medium-sized myself ...
I'm sure I've spent more time over the last 49 years
justifying the ways of Peirce to people who scarcely
knew his name much less the thrust of his work but
some of the issues he raised from infancy so many
years ago have popped up again in several places
around the web. I was thinking it might be time
to talk about some of the things I learned from
my early and ongoing experiments with logical
notations and graphical syntaxes inspired by
Peirce, all of which led in very quick order
to computer experiments with logical graphs.
