Cybernetics List, Peirce List,

Starting once again with the primary arithmetic, the order of
logic whose measure works out to "one-half-of-zeroth" (OH OZ),
let us count the ways that this formal system might be iconic
of our negative and positive logical objects, that which we'd
avoid and that which we'd approach, to wit by any other words,
Falsity and Truth, respectively.

Before we go any further we need to observe that there is no fact of the matter
as to whether a given sign is an icon of a given object, that is to say, in any
way that fails to refer to the conduct of a given interpreter, which conduct is
most conveniently and formally summed up in the fashion of an interpretant sign.

Thus, if you find youself in an argument with another interpreter who swears to
the influence of some quality common to the object and the sign and that really
does affect his or her conduct in regard to the two of them, then that argument
is almost certainly bound to be utterly futile.  I am sure we've all been there.

Later than I thought ... will have to leave it there ...
