AS: In my case, there's no comparable origins: this is all Math 101 for me.
    Well, not strictly speaking so.  I did the standard computational skills
    programmes for engineers, of course, and something that with hindsight
    looks like a Theory of Computation (ToC) approach to mathematics.  It
    would seem that if we take math as the 'Science of Necessary Relations'
    [SoNeR] as would seem implicit in much of Peirce, and explicit in texts
    like CP 3.562 or 4.1, then perhaps it might just be possible to have
    a go at the Ground of Social Science Hermeneutics (GoSSH) and wean
    the social sciences' critics of the idea that the sole mathematical
    basis for their inquiry is statistics.  At least, that's what I hope
    is possible, but then that's fallibility, isn't it?

Arnold, Peirce List,

I hope you don't mind that I corrected your "ToNeR" to "SoNeR" as too many
occurrences of "toner" is likely to trigger the BayesBot in my spamslammer.

As far as what shows up on B. & C. Peirce's SONER, I know that C. left us
with an important clarification as to what either of them meant, but I'll
have to leave recalling what that was all about to another occasion.

When it comes to the "Ethnology of Social Developments", I think I would take
a more dynamic approach than might be suggested by the leisurely reclinations
of anybody's favorite "classification of the sciences" (COT), and I tend to be
just a little suspicious of all such apriority schemes, even while I can't seem
to cure myself of seasonally manifesting the very same symptoms.  You might take
a look at the work that I did on "Objective Frameworks, Genres, Motifs", as much
of it e-volved out of my struggles trying to string rope bridges across the chasm
between qualitative and quantitative researchers that I worked for-&-with through
the 80's and early 90's.  It's still a bit of rough-writing as I found myself
somewhat unsuspectingly coming at the same set of ideas from three different
directions and recogmized the convergence too late in the day to have yet
synthesized it properly, but some of those adventures are summed up here:
