So enamored was I with tricks of the mind’s eye I remember once concocting the motto, “Only what is paradoxical is ornery enough to exist”. These days my less precocious self tends to suspect all our nominal paradoxes will gradually dissolve on sufficient inspection and placement in the proper light. There I find the pragmatic spectrum of C.S. Peirce, stretching from the theory of triadic sign relations to the mathematical forms underlying logic, provides a full range of lights to the purpose. It was by those lights, Peirce’s semiotic and logical graphs, I came to see through the fog of misdirection surrounding the so-called Liar Paradox, inscribing my epitaph to Epimenides under the heading “All Liar, No Paradox”. More than that it became possible to see how the apparent paradox derives its appearance from unexamined assumptions about the relation between signs and objects. That much prologue brings us up to speed with the Zeroth Law Of Semiotics and the scene of Joseph Harry’s remarks. ⁂ ⁂ ⁂ On 10/27/2022 11:30 AM, Jon Awbrey wrote:> Cf: Zeroth Law Of Semiotics • Discussion 2
