Peirce List,

For continuity's sake — as I try to recover my train of thought from the spin-offs of the solstice 
roundhouse — I'm recycling my replies to a comment by Helmut Raulien on the Peirce List, one that 
raised a host of questions about Peirce's categories, logic, and semiotics in the light of Spencer 
Brown's Laws of Form.

Spencer Brown's Laws of Form tends to be loved XOR ( http://intersci.ss.uci.edu/wiki/index.php/XOR ) 
  hated by most folks, with few coming down in between.  I ran across the book early in my undergrad 
years, shortly after encountering CSP, so I could recognize that it roughly revived Peirce's logical 
graphs, emphasizing the entitative interpretation of the abstract formal calculus that underlies the 
propositional “alpha” level.  It took me a solid decade to gain a modicum of clarity about all that 
“imaginary truth value” and “re-entry” folderol and I'll try to say some things about that later on …

I mulled the matter over for a fair spell of days and nights and decided that it wouldn't be such a 
good idea to jump into the middle of the muddle about re-entry and imaginary truth values right off 
the bat, that it would be better in the long run to get a solid grip on what is going on with the 
propositional level of Peirce's logical graphs and how Spencer Brown's elaborations can be seen to 
manifest the same spirit of reasoning, if read the right way.

Okay, maybe that will jog my memory a bit ...

Regards,

Jon
