NB. On account of the fact that various listservers balk at Peirce's "marks of reference" I will make the following substitutions in Peirce's text:
: @ = dagger symbol
: # = double dagger
: || = parallel sign
: $ = section symbol
: % = paragraph mark
It is clear from our last excerpt that Peirce is already on the verge of a graphical syntax for the logic of relatives. Indeed, it seems likely that he had already reached this point in his own thinking.
For instance, it seems quite impossible to read his last variation on the theme of a "giver of a horse to a lover of a woman" without drawing lines of identity to connect up the corresponding marks of reference, like this:
