  5. @LeoTsai14 While they do not actually call it so, set theoreticians do a lot of work in a category in which the objects are the models of set theory and the arrows are the elementary embeddings (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementa) between them.
    Models of (ZFC-like) set theories have the interesting property that the maps between them are to some amount determined by the mappings between their classes of ordinals: If this map is an isomorphism, the whole map is one (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical).
    You may also have a look at inner model theory (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_mo), I think.

  6. Do we have any Gödel experts in the house?

    I'm trying to understand why Gödel used this encoding in the original Gödel numbering. To be clear, these are supposed to be the exponents in the unique factorisation 2ᵃ3ᵇ5ᶜ⋯, not the bases which are also coincidentally prime.

    Why did Gödel pick prime exponents too?

    And why did is the 0 assigned to the exponent 1 and not 2? Why is that first one not prime?

    At first I thought this might be a typo in the inset figure in Wikipedia, but upon consulting the cited reference I saw that the same encoding is used in the original paper. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6d

  7. Logic of Relatives
    inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/08

    Relations Via Relative Terms —

    The logic of relatives is the study of relations as represented in symbolic forms known as rhemes, rhemata, or relative terms.

    Introduction —

    The logic of relatives, more precisely, the logic of relative terms, is the study of relations as represented in symbolic forms called rhemes, rhemata, or relative terms. The treatment of relations by way of their corresponding relative terms affords a distinctive perspective on the subject, even though all angles of approach must ultimately converge on the same formal subject matter.

    The consideration of relative terms has its roots in antiquity but it entered a radically new phase of development with the work of Charles Sanders Peirce, beginning with his paper “Description of a Notation for the Logic of Relatives, Resulting from an Amplification of the Conceptions of Boole's Calculus of Logic” (1870).

    ❝§3. Application of the Algebraic Signs to Logic❞

    ❝The Signs of Inclusion, Equality, Etc.❞

    ❝But not only do the significations of \(=\) and \(<\) here adopted fulfill all absolute requirements, but they have the supererogatory virtue of being very nearly the same as the common significations. Equality is, in fact, nothing but the identity of two numbers; numbers that are equal are those which are predicable of the same collections, just as terms that are identical are those which are predicable of the same classes.

    ❝So, to write \(5 < 7\) is to say that \(5\) is part of \(7,\) just as to write \(\mathrm{f} < \mathrm{m}\) is to say that Frenchmen are part of men. Indeed, if \(\mathrm{f} < \mathrm{m},\) then the number of Frenchmen is less than the number of men, and if \(\mathrm{v} = \mathrm{p},\) then the number of Vice-Presidents is equal to the number of Presidents of the Senate; so that the numbers may always be substituted for the terms themselves, in case no signs of operation occur in the equations or inequalities.❞

  9. Related question: Is Tarski's fixed point theorem constructive, predicative?

    Since Tarski's fixed point theorem can be proved by a sort of transfinite induction, how the answer of this question telated to the previous question?

  10. A question: is transfinite induction constructive?

    Sure it would depend on the definition of ordinal, but how?

    ❝§3. Application of the Algebraic Signs to Logic❞

    ❝Numbers Corresponding to Letters❞

    ❝I propose to use the term “universe” to denote that class of individuals about which alone the whole discourse is understood to run. The universe, therefore, in this sense, as in Mr. De Morgan's, is different on different occasions. In this sense, moreover, discourse may run upon something which is not a subjective part of the universe; for instance, upon the qualities or collections of the individuals it contains.

    ❝I propose to assign to all logical terms, numbers; to an absolute term, the number of individuals it denotes; to a relative term, the average number of things so related to one individual. Thus in a universe of perfect men \((\mathrm{men}),\) the number of “tooth of” would be 32. The number of a relative with two correlates would be the average number of things so related to a pair of individuals; and so on for relatives of higher numbers of correlates. I propose to denote the number of a logical term by enclosing the term in square brackets, thus, \([t].\)❞

  12. Peirce's 1870 “Logic of Relatives” • Selection 1.2
    inquiryintoinquiry.com/2014/01

    ❝The conjugative term involves the conception of third, the relative that of second or other, the absolute term simply considers an object. No fourth class of terms exists involving the conception of fourth, because when that of third is introduced, since it involves the conception of bringing objects into relation, all higher numbers are given at once, inasmuch as the conception of bringing objects into relation is independent of the number of members of the relationship. Whether this reason for the fact that there is no fourth class of terms fundamentally different from the third is satisfactory of not, the fact itself is made perfectly evident by the study of the logic of relatives.❞

    One thing that strikes me about the above passage is a pattern of argument I can recognize as invoking a closure principle. This is a figure of reasoning Peirce uses in three other places: his discussion of continuous predicates, his definition of a sign relation, and his formulation of the pragmatic maxim itself.

    One might also call attention to the following two statements:

    ❝Now logical terms are of three grand classes.❞

    ❝No fourth class of terms exists involving the conception of fourth, because when that of third is introduced, since it involves the conception of bringing objects into relation, all higher numbers are given at once, inasmuch as the conception of bringing objects into relation is independent of the number of members of the relationship.❞

    We pick up Peirce's text at the following point.

    ❝§3. Application of the Algebraic Signs to Logic❞

    ❝Use of the Letters❞

    ❝The letters of the alphabet will denote logical signs.

    ❝Now logical terms are of three grand classes.

    ❝The first embraces those whose logical form involves only the conception of quality, and which therefore represent a thing simply as “a ──”. These discriminate objects in the most rudimentary way, which does not involve any consciousness of discrimination. They regard an object as it is in itself as such (quale); for example, as horse, tree, or man. These are absolute terms.

    ❝The second class embraces terms whose logical form involves the conception of relation, and which require the addition of another term to complete the denotation. These discriminate objects with a distinct consciousness of discrimination. They regard an object as over against another, that is as relative; as father of, lover of, or servant of. These are simple relative terms.

    ❝The third class embraces terms whose logical form involves the conception of bringing things into relation, and which require the addition of more than one term to complete the denotation. They discriminate not only with consciousness of discrimination, but with consciousness of its origin. They regard an object as medium or third between two others, that is as conjugative; as giver of ── to ──, or buyer of ── for ── from ──. These may be termed conjugative terms.❞

    • inquiryintoinquiry.com/2014/01

    Individual terms are taken to denote individual entities falling under a general term. Peirce uses upper case Roman letters for individual terms, for example, the individual horses \(\mathrm{H}, \mathrm{H}^{\prime}, \mathrm{H}^{\prime\prime}\) falling under the general term \(\mathrm{h}\) for horse.

    The path to understanding Peirce's system and its wider implications for logic can be smoothed by paraphrasing his notations in a variety of contemporary mathematical formalisms, while preserving the semantics as much as possible. Remaining faithful to Peirce's orthography while adding parallel sets of stylistic conventions will, however, demand close attention to typography-in-context.

    Current style sheets for mathematical texts specify italics for mathematical variables, with upper case letters for sets and lower case letters for individuals. So we need to keep an eye out for the difference between the individual \(\mathrm{X}\) of the genus \(\mathrm{x}\) and the element \(x\) of the set \(X\) as we pass between the two styles of text.

    In the beginning was the three-pointed star,
    One smile of light across the empty face;
    One bough of bone across the rooting air,
    The substance forked that marrowed the first sun;
    And, burning ciphers on the round of space,
    Heaven and hell mixed as they spun.

    Peirce’s text uses lower case letters for logical terms of general reference and upper case letters for logical terms of individual reference. General terms fall into types, namely, absolute terms, dyadic relative terms, and higher adic relative terms, which Peirce distinguishes through the use of different typefaces. The following Tables show the typefaces used in the present transcript for Peirce's examples of general terms. (I'll post just the image links for now, then the full images and texts in the next three posts.)

  20. Peirce’s 1870 “Logic of Relatives” • Overview
    inquiryintoinquiry.com/2019/09

    My long ago encounter with Peirce’s 1870 paper, “Description of a Notation for the Logic of Relatives, Resulting from an Amplification of the Conceptions of Boole’s Calculus of Logic”, was one of the events precipitating my return from the hazier heights of philosophy to the solid plains of mathematics below. Over the years I copied out various drafts of my study notes to the web, consisting of selections from Peirce’s paper along with my running commentary. A few years back I serialized what progress I had made so far to this blog and this Overview consists of links to those installments.

    ❝Whether this “reason” for the fact that there is no fourth class of terms fundamentally different from the third is satisfactory of not, the fact itself is made perfectly evident by the study of the logic of relatives.❞

    (Peirce, CP 3.63)

    • inquiryintoinquiry.com/2014/01

    ❝No fourth class of terms exists involving the conception of “fourth”, because when that of “third” is introduced, since it involves the conception of bringing objects into relation, all higher numbers are given at once, inasmuch as the conception of bringing objects into relation is independent of the number of members of the relationship.❞

    ❝The conjugative term involves the conception of “third”, the relative that of second or “other”, the absolute term simply considers “an” object.❞

    ❝They discriminate not only with consciousness of discrimination, but with consciousness of its origin. They regard an object as medium or third between two others, that is as conjugative; as giver of ── to ──, or buyer of ── for ── from ──. These may be termed conjugative terms.❞

    • inquiryintoinquiry.com/2014/01

    ❝The third class embraces terms whose logical form involves the conception of bringing things into relation, and which require the addition of more than one term to complete the denotation.❞
