In classical logical traditions the concepts of definition and determination are closely related, even more so
if you view the overarching concept of constraint from an information-theoretic point of view, as C.S. Peirce did
beginning in the 1860s.  That makes an understanding of these intertwined concepts critical to the application of
Peirce’s theories of information and inquiry.

Here’s a running thread with links to a collection of notes I’ve been gathering:
