Hi, all, Channeling Peirce is hard work, and tho Eric C. does it extremely well, I think there is one slip of the pen below. Please see larding: Nicholas S. Thompson Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Biology Clark University

"The question I'm now worried about is the facility/frequency with which cyclic graphs can be "simulated" by DAGs (which is why I implied that everywhere we think there might be a convergence to something "real" would require a monotonic parameter)" Uh, why? For example, compilation of a recu

Glen said " In all my posts, I've tried to push for "True as far as it goes" ... or "true for now, maybe not true later", "true over here but not over there", etc. " This leads me to believe that we have lost track of Peirce being a well established scientist, making contributions to several field

Re: [FRIAM] Abduction

Thanks for that paper. It forced me to remember (and look up) the discussion in Pearl's book ("Causality" 2000) about the Markov assumption and latent structure reduction. Part of my reaction to John's statement about trying to find a time series that cannot be generated by a sequential machin

Re: [FRIAM] Abduction

Hi, Everybody, I am having WAY too much fun, here, and should pull back. Before I do, just a word of caution. I always forget that Peirce's definition is an asserting of the meaning of Truth and Real, not an assertion of their existence. These definitions flow from the pragmatic maxim, w

Re: [FRIAM] Abduction

Dear Erics, C. and S., I got lost for a moment, here, but now am caught up. I hope. Eric Charles is correct. Eric Smith’s first sentence is about as unvarnished statement of pragmatism as one can imagine. The role of “reality” in those constructions is often an uninterpreted

Try this link. Now I remember that Thomas Richardson first described the algorithm and Danks and I implemented it. http://scholar.google.com/scholar_url?url=https://arxiv.org/pdf/1302.3599&hl=en&sa=X&scisig=AAGBfm23iOsgxDPx5eHVIU1aXYbP1yc_ZA&nossl=1&oi=scholarr --

The link doesn't work for me. But I suspect: Yes! In all my posts, I've tried to push for "True as far as it goes" ... or "true for now, maybe not true later", "true over here but not over there", etc. Time is an important, but not the only factor. Feedback often assumes time. But all it re

Re: [FRIAM] Abduction

"And the answer embodied-situated cognition " Well... I think that if THAT work is to be coherent, it needs to be grounded in pragmatism so I think that's a great answer. Trying to lay embodied cognition on any other foundation is going to result in collapse. Alas, only a few people have

At CMU I implemented an algorithm called CCD (cyclic causal discovery) which could infer feedback in causal graphs from observational data. Is that relevant? Spirtes, P., Glymour, C., and Scheines, R. Kauffman, S.,Aimale, V., & Wimberly, F. (2001). Constructing Bayesian Network Models of Gene Exp

Re: [FRIAM] Abduction

Ha! Dude. I feel like I've said it over and over again. Nothing is real. To do what you've (or Peirce's) done and simply redefine the word "real" is iffy, at best. Why not simply *admit* that nothing is real and move on? The answer to your question is that there's something that lies, with

Glen, Oh Joy. Oh Rapture! SOMEBODY understands me. A new day is dawning. A new year has begun! In the end, a methodologically-Peircian perspective is the best you can hope for, right? I.e. *acting* like a Peircian is fantastic. But it's not clear whether we can extrapolate such a

Much more than you asked for… “lax” is “loose’, as in morals and bowels. “Re-“ is more complicated. From the Oxford English dictionary: “re-, prefix of Latin origin, with the general sense of ‘back’ or ‘again’, occurring in a large number of words directly or indirectly adopted from Latin, o
