Aw: Re: [PEIRCE-L] Re: Asymmetry of Logic and Time (was multiple-valued logic)

[Helmut Raulien]

List,

I have to ponder your posts, because up to now my idea has been, that in inanimate nature merely deduction/efficient causation occurs, in animate nature (organisms) also induction/final causation, and in neuro-nature (brain animals) also abduction/example causation. To suggest that a molecule does abduction, would in my concept be illegitimate anthropocentrism. But all that is just my ideas, you know I have some of them, maybe all wrong. Best, Helmut

I am uncertain as to the semantic, syntactical, formal and CSP textual sources of meanings of the term “ampliative” as used in these two sentences.

In logical terms, the key is that excluded middle is a principle only of deductive reasoning, not of ampliative reasoning, which always comes first in any inquiry;

Jon had written:

"That is why it is ampliative rather than merely explicative, with the tradeoff that its inferences are merely plausible rather than certain."

 

 

 Note that ampliative reasoning can be used to infer the necessary connections between atoms and molecules as many to one mappings from parts to the wholes. That is, for a collection of atoms to become a single molecule, it is necessary that new relations must be specified that show the differences between the individuals and the collective, the emergent whole with a new name that specifies its uniqueness. 

 

In other words, what is being “ampliated" in this usage of the term “ampliative”? 

 

(I vaguely recall reading a CSP passage that used the term but can not locate it now.)

 

Secondly, why is the form of term such a radical departure from the common form of terminology of logics, such as abductive, adductive, deductive, inductive, productive, retroductive, (synductive), and transductive.  

 

(The term “synductive” was coined in my 2008 paper to enumerate the logic of forming a whole from atomic parts by matching all  parts to another to form the molecular network, that is, the pattern of relations that quantifies the relationships between the qualisigns and the legisigns of sin-signs.)

 

Cheers
