  2. Existential graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_graph

    An existential graph is a type of diagrammatic or visual notation for logical expressions, created by Charles Sanders Peirce, who wrote on graphical logic as early as 1882, [1] and continued to develop the method until his death in 1914.

  3. John F. Sowa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Sowa

    Sowa invented conceptual graphs, a graphic notation for logic and natural language, based on the structures in semantic networks and on the existential graphs of Charles S. Peirce. He introduced the concept in the 1976 article "Conceptual graphs for a data base interface" in the IBM Journal of Research and Development. [7]

  4. Diagrammatic reasoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagrammatic_reasoning

    A logical graph is a special type of graph-theoretic structure in any one of several systems of graphical syntax that Charles Sanders Peirce developed for logic.. In his papers on qualitative logic, entitative graphs, and existential graphs, Peirce developed several versions of a graphical formalism, or a graph-theoretic formal language, designed to be interpreted for logic.

  5. Existentially closed model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existentially_closed_model

    The existential closure in K of a member M of K, when it exists, is, up to isomorphism, the least existentially closed superstructure of M. More precisely, it is any extensionally closed superstructure M ∗ of M such that for every existentially closed superstructure N of M , M ∗ is isomorphic to a substructure of N via an isomorphism that ...

    XVI, no. 4, Oct. 1906), Peirce uses the words "seme", "pheme", and "delome" (pp. 506, 507, etc.) for the rheme-dicisign-argument typology, but retains the word "rheme" for the predicate in his system of Existential Graphs. Also note that Peirce once offered "seme" as an alternate expression for "index" in 1903.

  7. Categories (Peirce) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categories_(Peirce)

    In Aristotle's logic, categories are adjuncts to reasoning that are designed to resolve equivocations, ambiguities that make expressions or signs recalcitrant to being ruled by logic.

    For instance, although the crossing number of a graph (the minimum number of crossings in a drawing with arbitrarily curved edges) may be determined in NP, it is complete for the existential theory of the reals to determine whether there exists a drawing achieving a given bound on the rectilinear crossing number (the minimum number of pairs of ...
