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

[Helmut Raulien]

Thank you, Ben! This is just a test, to see, whether it is my email program, that produces the junk-stuff.

Best, Helmut

Hi, all.  Here's an example. I've pruned off all the extra stuff (most of the 439 KB of the previous message).  Please continue from here. 

Best regards,

H&E,

Differences in how far we extend words and categories and metaphorical uses of them is often a problem in discourse. Perhaps we experience some of that here?

I really appreciate Helmut’s contributions as he tries to reconcile E and my views. Perhaps we are not complete antagonists, just have different thresholds for the use of certain terms.

Thanks, Edwina. A lot of the problem has to do with discerning scales and other kinds of boundaries, i.e. phylogenic from ontogenic. The division of scales of any sort, even splitting the rainbow into 4, 6 or 8 colors, is difficult. I agree with what you're saying about adaptation, a word that sits more comfortably for me here than inductive reasoning. It is local in the sense of being an interactive feedback response between organism and environmental context, both of which may change through time. Don’t know about "reject random mutation as a means of dealing with environmental challenge", though. Seems that pressure from threatening conditions would greatly favor those individuals that differ in ways that defer or blunt the pressure. And, short of conscious agency (for example, on the part of social groups who could indeed use inference), most biological forms would probably blindly fall into the sweet spot — or become extinct. —SxS
