Hi, Thomas, Some of what you say is quite suggestive. I hope somebody here at peirce-l understands it better than I do. I'm hardly acquainted with the EGs. I had a notion that they're basically a visual form of 1st-order logic. I had no idea that Peirce's "exploding-point" cuts and his maths o

Steven, You may already be familiar with them, but if not see also Peter Skagestad's relevant papers at Arisbe, perhaps especially the first two in connection with the present question. PETER SKAGESTAD "The Mind's Machines: the Turing Machine, the

Can you imagine now why I claimed that the "Peicean Cut" is an asymmetric, quasi-periodic tiling of the plane? I hope I am wrong somehow. Otherwise that would be a revolution in the most iconic sense of the word Iconicity. You see?! Do you know what Peirce left over of the Kantian list of cat
