Survey of Semiotics, Semiosis, Sign Relations • 6

C.S. Peirce defines logic as “formal semiotic”, using formal to highlight the place of logic as a normative science, over and above the descriptive study of signs and their role in wider fields of play.  Understanding logic as Peirce understands it thus requires a companion study of semiotics, semiosis, and sign relations.

What follows is a Survey of blog and wiki resources on the theory of signs, variously known as semeiotic or semiotics, and the actions referred to as semiosis which transform signs among themselves in relation to their objects, all as based on C.S. Peirce’s concept of triadic sign relations.

#Semiositis • 1.1
https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2015/07/10/semiositis-1/

Both types of sign-using systems, #Commerce and #Communication, are prey to the same sort of dysfunction or functional disease — it sets in when users confound signs and objects so severely as to take signs for ends instead of means.

There is a vast literature on this topic, once you think to go looking for it. And it’s a perennial theme in fable and fiction.

There is a deep and pervasive #Analogy between systems of #Commerce and systems of #Communication, turning on their near-universal use of #Symbola (images, media, proxies, signs, symbols, tokens, etc.) to stand for #Pragmata (objects, objective values, the things we really care about, or would really care about if we examined our values in practice thoroughly enough).

The thing I notice here is a tendency to see the world in terms of dualisms and dyadic relations.

When you get used to noticing triadic relations in the world it tends to bring other aspects of things to light.
