Peircers, The transformation on logical relations that Peirce described as "hypostatic abstraction" is key to understanding the realm of abstract objects, in particular, mathematical objects. It is an example of a "reflective operation", one that links a relation of a given arity to a relation of the next higher arity, and it appears to be involved in many, if not all, acts of reflective praxis, formally, if not always consciously. Here, hot off the WordPress, is the latest transubstantiation of my mini-article on the subject.
