Re: Sign Relational Manifolds

Peircers,

Let me try to say in intuitive terms what I think is really going on here.

The problem we face is as old as the problem of other minds, or intersubjectivity, or even 
commensurability, and it naturally involves a whole slew of other old problems — reality and 
appearance, or reality and representation, not to mention the one and the many.  One way to sum up 
the question might be “conditions on the possibility of a mutually objective world”.

Working on the assumption, despite how tenuous it often seems, that there really is a real world 
impressing itself in diverse ways on every mind, or in diverse measures on every frame of reference, 
we find ourselves pressed to give an account of the hypothetical unity beneath the manifest 
diversity — and how it is possible to discover the former in the latter.

Manifold theory proposes one type of solution to that host of problems.

Regards,

Jon
