The “signal” that traverses the mark in the diagram undergoes a flip from value A to value <A> (cross A).<div class="">In the usual interpretation we have only the values marked and unmarked happening at the lines in the diagrams. Already this is very rich. People including myself have used these diagrams more generally so that the mark is a black box, or a more general boundary and the signals running through are also more complex. At that point the diagram could actually be any directed graph with various interpretations for its parts. Stafford is advocating using directed graphs to indicate flow of information or goods or spirituality or … and all this is close to very general descriptions of the systems. Some people like to restrict to just Spencer-Brown type boundaries and indicate how boundaries are crossed between different sometimes nested domains. You will see this is in Dirk Baecker’s work. Diagrams can have many interpretations and one does not need to speak as though these interpretations are necessarily implicit in say Spencer-Brown from the beginning.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I believe that the correct understanding is that what Spencer-Brown shows us, the structure that he shows us and that we can develop further if we wish, is inherent in any and all indicative domains.

One cannot make an indication without drawing a distinction.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">But when you start asking questions in the form "In GSB transduction must happen "in the line" of the mark.

Along it, I was reminded of a maverick approach to distinctions I read long ago. It was pointing to a set with N elements carrying multiple "signs" or "marks". The distinctions between these elements carrying heterogeneous signs within the set were expressed by means of partitions, actually multidimensional partitions. Other related authors tried to systematically obtain and compile those multidimensional partitions via a few 'logical' principles (economy, parsimony, symmetry) applied to the pruning of redundant signs, and subsequently the 'canonical' multid.partitions could be obtained 'almost' algorithmically (at least for small N)... etc. etc. At least, in my non-mathematical mind I could make some practical sense of this distinctional stuff (in which I was interested regarding cellular signaling systems and the way receptors combinations were occupied by different signaling molecules). </div></div><div class=""><div style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif" class="">I disagree with the closing statement (THE FORM WE TAKE TO EXIST ARISES FROM FRAMING NOTHING), because it situates itself above the conditions of any previous kind of existence. IMO it is a Barón of Münchhausen's type of statement. Maths as I pointed days ago inherit the inner dynamics of our sensorimotor transformations from which language developed. Maths, as it has often been recognized, is a particular form of collective language. It partakes of an enormous historical accumulation of thought-experimentation and pruning, particularly trying to capture the transformations of the external world. The implicit subject is always "us", the writer plus the concerned learned community of 'practitioners' of that particular math 'dialect'. And concerning distinctions, it obviously includes the possibility of entering into the scheme of other subjects (as Eric points) endowed with genuine distinctional capability--from living cells to...</div></div><div class=""><div style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif" class="">Anyhow, in spite of the disagreement, your message was a great reading.

For instance, E. coli counts with about 100 one-component-systems (1CSs), 28 of the 2 CSs class, and just two of the 3 CSs (actually one of them is the motion control). The 1CSs are more simple and primitive (evolutionarily), and slower, with respect to the faster, more specific, and more evolved 2CSs, which in their turn are less complex and sophisticate than 3CSs, which are applied to the treatment of very important signals than need a further layer of intervening processes. It always depend on the whole advancement of the cell cycle, or life history, which endowment the bacterium will contain... Anyhow, the whole signaling panorama of 'primitive' cells is fascinating--it is indeed the beginning of biological sensing & communication.</div></div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"> </p></div><div class=""><div style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif" class="">By the way, Jason, thanks for that amazing report on the proton innards.</div></div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"> </p></div><div class=""><div style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif" class="">Greetings to all,</div></div><div class=""><div style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif" class="">--Pedro</div></div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"> </p></div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"> </p></div><div class=""><div style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif" class="">El 17/01/2025 a las 21:57, Louis Kauffman escribió:</div></div><blockquote style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt" type="cite" class=""><div style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif" class="">Dear Eric,</div><div class=""><div style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif" class="">There is a confusion here that is quite natural.</div></div><div class=""><div style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif" class="">LOF is a book of mathematics and philosophy.

Yes, I admit it was sarcasm. To me a distinction requires a subject. And that subject's neuro-hardware or firmware or software limits the distinctions that that subject can make. For example, the distinctions made by an ant, a frog, a cat or a human may be quite different. </div><div class="">I realize you are probably the world top expert on Spencer Brown so you probably have a reply. But my instinct is that GSB is claiming too much by using 'distinction' as an ONTOLOGICAL or metaphysical foundation for what requires a subjective capacity. OK, this last sentence is not fully clear, but I think GSB is confusing subject and being.</div><div class="">As for the sarcasm, it is a more personal emotional reaction having little to do with you. Although you may unknowingly have had a role in the matter through your publications. I have friends who study early Wittgenstein and GSB as if their texts were biblical texts. Going to the library every day to read the Tractatus and LOF like a disciple doing his or her religious studies. </div><div class="">At the onset of puberty and the ability to consciously reason, my mother took each of us into the kitchen and taught us to be critical of the bible, both the old and new testament. We were raised Christian but there were also Jews in my mother's ancestry. Who knows why, but I have maintained my religious skepticism and hence my perhaps inappropriate reaction when I smell religiosity. Apologies dear Lou.</div><div class="">In spite of my critical attitude, I do believe there is more to the universe. There may be a God or Gods and angels. There may be life after death.
