André De Tienne: a science that happens to make use of a principle formulated in a more abstract science may provide that prior science with corrective feedback, reasons to revise generalizations, and reasons to redesign formal possibilities. Thus, a science may also be said to precede another science if the latter provides such a critical and validating feedback in return. (slide 17)
GF: Apparently a science may precede another not only in this hierarchical sense but also in a procedural sense: CSP: Having thus settled what the phaneron is, we have to undertake the examination [of] its indecomposable constituents. But before undertaking the actual work of observation, it is indispensable that we should begin by considering what is possible for otherwise we would be exploring without any definite field to explore. We should idly wonder without accomplishing anything. (MS 284, p. 39, c. 1905, as quoted by Francesco Bellucci the emphasis is his in https://www.academia.edu/11664897/Peirce_on_Phaneroscopical_Analysis). GF: The procedural order here is: 1. settling what the phaneron is 2. considering what is possible [by means of a formal or mathematical logic?] 3. undertaking the actual work of observation [i.e. phaneroscpic observation] This leaves open the question of how to classify the science if it is a science which enables us to settle what the phaneron is. Bellucci appears to argue that it is the logic of relatives, taking a cue (as it were) from the idea of valency generalized from the science of chemistry. Gary f. Text of slide 17: 2. The principle of critical inductive validation and correction The order of logical dependency implies that a science that happens to make use of a principle formulated in a more abstract science, either by manifesting instantiations of such principles, or by putting the clouds of possibilities, freely played with in the more abstract sciences, through their exercises, thus through the test of real-world actualizations, may provide that prior science with corrective feedback, reasons to revise generalizations, and reasons to redesign formal possibilities. Thus, a science may also be said to precede another science if the latter provides such a critical and validating feedback in return.
