JR: I wonder if someone would attempt a brief statement
    of the symbol-grounding problem?  Something like that
    is at issue here, I think, but I don't recall how that
    problem is usually conceived.

One for the "Standing Under The Soles Of Giants" (SUTSOG) file.
I gave up on this literature a decade ago because its insular
perspective seemed to prevent folks from ever getting around
to reading the past masters, but there are beginning to be
some token references to Peirce in more recent papers,
so hope springs eternal ...

Here is the local (parochial) locus classicus:

| Stevan Harnad (1990)
|"The symbol grounding problem", 'Physica D', 42:335-346.
| http://arxiv.org/html/cs.AI/9906002

Here are some more recent papers with Peirce in their bibs:

| Cangelosi, A., Greco, A., and Harnad, S. (2002)
|"Symbol Grounding and the Symbolic Theft Hypothesis"
| http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/6470/01/grounding.pdf

| Roy, D. (2004)
|"Grounding Language in the World: Schema Theory Meets Semiotics"
