Peircers, Back in the saddle after a few days travel. Let me see if I can remember where we were.
Speaking of saddles, that cowboy-wrangler metaphor from my last post was not saying what I wanted it to say -- the word “wrangler” clangs a bit much -- so I adjusted it slightly for my blog edition: Definition and Determination : 13 https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2016/04/15/definition-and-determination-13/ Verbal acrobatics can get a person only so far, even for a high-wire act like C.S. Peirce, and all the great failures to launch that I've seen pragmatism and semiotics suffer from during the last century come about because people have the habit of getting waylaid in à priori armchair delicatessen methods of fixing their beliefs in premature contentments. When it's time to deal with real experimental data and realistic practical applications then there is no help for it but wrestling with the mathematical structures of triadic sign relations and relations in general.
