Yu Ziran	Prag 22 seems to be true. So far as it is true, it is a very useful truth. But great reserve should be exercised in admitting its exact truth. For the reaction-machine is a purely physical apparatus, and similarities which govern its action must...	199	MS 317-318 (1907) - Pragmatism - Notes and Drafts	C. S.

Yu Ziran	Prag 21 the similar reactions have taken place. This statement is utterly indefinite in that it fails to specify the kinds of similarity intended. It is capable of logical proof that, in an unlimited universe of marks, any two/individual objects ...	198	MS 317-318 (1907) - Pragmatism - Notes and Drafts	C. S. Peirce Manuscripts	over 2 years ago
Yu Ziran	Prag 20 therefore active. The consequence is that if an excitation continues, the reaction will usually become, for a while, more and more violent, changing its mode several times, until some reactional motion happens to cause the cessation of t...	197	MS 317-318 (1907) - Pragmatism - Notes and Drafts	C.

Yu Ziran	Prag 19 moulded sign had been the interpreter. The meaning of the mouldes sign being conveyed to its interpreter, became the meaning of a thought in that quasi-mind; and as there conveyed in a thought-sign required an interpreter, the interpreter...	195	MS 317-318 (1907) - Pragmatism - Notes and Drafts	C.

Yu Ziran	Prag 18 a psychical dose of energy, but a significant meaning. In that modified, and as yet very misty, sense, then, we may continue to use the italicized words of the following: " A sign is whatever there may be whose intent is to mediate b...	194	MS 317-318 (1907) - Pragmatism - Notes and Drafts	C.

E.R.	There appears to be a misspelling on Peirce's part concerning the Greek term for cenoscopy, since the ψ should be replaced by a π (see e.g. EP 2, p. 373). The last Greek letter in the manuscript is difficult to identify, but should be an α.	116	MS 611-15	C. S. Peirce Manuscripts	about 5 years ago

agerdom	I believe the card game he's referring to here is probably whist [1]. Between this and his story explaining abduction via a story involving breaking and entering, I love when he launches into examples. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whist	22	Color MS 462	C. S.

gnox	The sentence beginning with the final line on this page does not continue on the next page. (Maybe Peirce just forgot to cross it out?)	13	MS 473-474 (1903) - Lowell Lecture VII	C. S. Peirce Manuscripts	over 6 years ago

jeffdown1	Yes, there would be no contrast if he was comparing logical notation to logical notation in that sentence, so he likely meant to use the work "mathematical" in one of the two places. Having said that, it is good to transcribe the words we see--especially	6	MS 466-467 (1903) - Lowell Lecture IV	C. S. Peirce Manuscripts	about 7 years ago
indexical	It seems that page 2 is missing in the MS itself. Could not find it anywhere.	2	MS 473-474 (1903) - Lowell Lecture VII	C. S. Peirce Manuscripts	about 7 years ago
gnox	The word "logical" in the last line must be a mistake for "mathematical," otherwise the sentence as it ends on the next page would contradict itself.	6	MS 466-467 (1903) - Lowell Lecture IV	C. S. Peirce Manuscripts	about 7 years ago
