Re: Peirce's 1870 “Logic Of Relatives ” • Selection 9

Re:http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2014/03/04/peirces-1870-logic-of-relatives-%E2%80%A2-comment-9-5/

Peirce List,

I'll be using the logical matrix and bigraph pictures of dyadic relations quite a bit in the sequel, 
so I've added more explanation of the bigraph picture to the blog post linked above.  I plan to add 
more formal definitions and exposition to the Graph Theory thread when I get a chance but hopefully 
this much will serve to negotiate the next few comments on Peirce's 1870 Logic of Relatives.

Regards,

Jon
