Val, List,
Proposal accepted! Actually, I feel like I've been working along
these lines ever since I first met up with Peirce. I'm currently
fighting some emotional resistance -- it makes me a little sad to
look at those old wiki-scraps -- the dreams we dreamed about what
Wikipedia could be! a true community of learning and inquiry! but
it was neither designed nor destined to become that. At any rate,
I would begin by poring over the relics I saved and trying to see
what sense we could make of them. By way of secondary literature,
I remember thinking that Susan Haack's 'Evidence and Inquiry' and
Cheryl Misak's 'Truth and the End of Inquiry' were rather helpful
in framing the issue. The papers Susan Awbrey and I wrote in the
90s and 00s attempted to tackle pieces of the puzzle, namely, how
to integrate the object-facing and inter-sign aspects of semiosis,
the 1st implied by correspondence theories and the 2nd implied by
consensus theories of truth.

Dear Jon and Peirces,
I propose that we complete the customary (incomplete/dyadic) theories of truth, viz., by consensus
and by correspondence, by adding, Truth by "concordance" (what you, Jon, call
"triple correspondence").

Peircers,
Looking over these old articles it occurs to me
there may be a few bits in them worth salvaging,
so I started a blog series for attempting that:
https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2017/03/11/pragmatic-theory-of-truth-%e2%80%a2-1/
I think John Sowa's remarks about the “major failures caused by ignoring
[Peirce]”
and Jerry Chandler's remarks about later readings serving as a “Procrustian bed
for CSP's concepts” are very apt in this context, and I will have more to say
in that regard if I can get to it.
Regards,
Jon

Peircers,
I haven't looked at these articles since the days I wasted
trying to justify the ways of Peirce to Wikipediots, other
than to reformat them a little here and there, but some of
their material may be instructive for ongoing discussions,
especially the quotes from Peirce and Kant on the nominal
character of truth definitions in terms of correspondence.
To make the shortest possible shrift, I think we have to
keep in mind that “correspondence” for Peirce can mean
“triple correspondence”, in other words, just another
name for a triadic relation.
Note. The document histories of these InterSciWiki forks
tell me that these drafts derive from Wikipedia revisions
of 14 Feb 2007 and 29 Jun 2006, respectively.
