A quotation from Thoreau

The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or perchance a palace or temple on the earth, and at length the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed of them.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Journal (1852-07-14)

Helmut Raulien:
❝I find it a bit problematic to say, that the sign determines the interpretant, because the sign doesn't infer, it is the interpreter, who does the inference. But ok, I guess we might say, that Peirce prescinds the semiosis from the interpreter, so, ok, the flow of determination goes from the sign to the interpretant, because it is the interpreter, who receives the sign, and then forms the interpretant […]❞

Helmut,

Thanks for this. Something about the way you expressed the question led me to think of a new angle on it.

What makes an interpretant is fairly simple, at least, here's the catch, once you have the appropriate mathematical framework in place — An interpretant is whatever appears in the third place of a sign‑relational triple (o, s, i).

What makes an interpreter is more complex. I'll take that up as I get more time.

#introduction
I am a trade unionist at #FNV #NL. My master's thesis in #philosophy (2002) was about #Wittgenstein's #pragmatism and #enactivism. I am currently particularly interested in The Labor Question, then and now.

A program I worked on all through the 80s aimed to develop #Algorithms and #DataStructures for integrating #EmpiricalLearning and #LogicalReasoning. I had earlier developed programs for #Learning #TwoLevelFormalLanguages and for #PropositionalLogic #ConstraintSatisfaction based on C.S. #Peirce's #LogicalGraphs. Getting those 2 faculties to work together meant integrating the ways of #Empiricism and #Rationalism.
