Functional Logic • Inquiry and Analogy
• https://oeis.org/wiki/Functional_Logic_%E2%80%A2_Inquiry_and_Analogy

This report discusses C.S. Peirce's treatment of analogy, placing it in relation to his overall theory of inquiry. We begin by introducing three basic types of reasoning Peirce adopted from classical logic. In Peirce's analysis both inquiry and analogy are complex programs of logical inference which develop through stages of these three types, though normally in different orders.

Note on notation. The discussion to follow uses logical conjunctions, expressed in the form of concatenated tuples $e_1\dots e_k,$ and minimal negation operations, expressed in the form of bracketed tuples $\mathtt{\text{(}}{e}_1\mathtt{\text{,}}\dots \mathtt{\text{,}}{e}_k\mathtt{\text{)}},$ as the principal expression-forming operations of a calculus for boolean-valued functions, that is, for propositions. The expressions of this calculus parse into data structures whose underlying graphs are called “cacti” by graph theorists. Hence the name “cactus language” for this dialect of propositional calculus.

JM: ❝In a previous post you mentioned the minimal negation operator. Is there also the converse of this, i.e. an operator which is true when exactly one of its arguments is true? Or is this just XOR?❞

Yes, the “just one true” operator is a very handy tool. We discussed it earlier under the headings of “genus and species relations” or “radio button logic”. Viewed in the form of a venn diagram it describes a partition of the universe of discourse into mutually exclusive and exhaustive regions.

Reading $\mathtt{\text{(}}{x}_1\mathtt{\text{,}}\dots \mathtt{\text{,}}{x}_m\mathtt{\text{)}}$ to mean just one of $x_1,\dots ,x_m$ is false, the form $\mathtt{\text{((}}{x}_1\mathtt{\text{),}}\dots \mathtt{\text{,(}}{x}_m\mathtt{\text{))}}$ means just one of $x_1,\dots ,x_m$ is true.

For two logical variables, though, the cases “condense” or “degenerate” and saying “just one true” is the same thing as saying “just one false”.

$$\mathtt{\text{((}}{x}_1\mathtt{\text{),(}}{x}_2\mathtt{\text{))}}=\mathtt{\text{(}}{x}_1\mathtt{\text{,}}{x}_2\mathtt{\text{)}}=x_1+x_2=\mathrm{x}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}(x_1,x_2).$$
