0086 I continue to examine chapter four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about science?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is valuable in science?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surely, mathematical and mechanical models<\/em> are valuable to science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mathematical and mechanical models<\/em> figure prominently in the empirio-schematic judgment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Models<\/em> are what ought to be<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0087 The empirio-schematic judgment<\/em> is initially diagrammed in Comments on Jacques Maritain’s Book (1935) Natural Philosophy,<\/em> as an element of the more encompassing Positivist’s judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0088 A judgment is a triadic relation with three elements: relation, what ought to be<\/em> and what is<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When each element is assigned a unique Peircean category, then the judgment becomes actionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actionable judgments “unfold” into category-based nested forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the above diagram translates into, “Disciplinary language (relation,<\/em> thirdness) brings mechanical and mathematical models (what ought to be,<\/em> secondness) into relation with observations and measurements of phenomena (what is,<\/em>firstness).”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0089 Can I disperse the three… er four?… maybe five… elements in the preceding diagram into the interscope for the post-truth condition?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is my guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0090 On, the content level, the term, “phenomena2a<\/sub>“, is placed, like a mask, over diverse opinions about what is going on<\/em>.  How is this accomplished?  Well, phenomena2a<\/sub><\/em> are the observable and measurable facets of a noumenon,<\/em> a thing itself, which is supposed to be what all those unscientific opinions fixate on<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the situation level, observations and measurements1b<\/sub><\/em> constitute the potential1b<\/sub><\/em> that characterizes phenomena2a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tautologies can be handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phenomena2a<\/sub><\/em> are those features of all the opinions expressed by all sorts of people2a<\/sub><\/em> which have the potential of being observed and measured1b<\/sub> as phenomena2a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0091 On the situation level, disciplinary language3b<\/sub><\/em> may occupy the same position as the expert3b<\/sub><\/em>.  Does one displace the other?  Or does an imaginative comparison of disciplinary language3b<\/sub> and experts3b<\/sub><\/em> suggest that the unfolded empirio-schematic nested form <\/em>(on the situation level) is a variation of the nested form for certified expertise <\/em>(also on the situation level)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0092 On the perspective level, one may wonder, “How can the empirio-schematic judgment as a judgment<\/em> virtually contextualize the empirio-schematic judgment as a category-based nested form?<\/em>  Isn’t there some sort of conflict of interest?  Or is this another one of those tautologies<\/em> that are ready at hand?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0093 Well, there is a trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The empirio-schematic judgment<\/em> is actionable<\/em> because each element is assigned to a unique Peircean category and, therefore, it can unfold into a category-based nested form<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, the empirio-schematic judgment<\/em> occupies the slot for what ought to be<\/em> in the Positivist’s judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0094 So, the empirio-schematic judgment<\/em> as what ought to be in the Positivist’s judgment<\/em> (on the perspective level) can virtually contextualize the empirio-schematic judgment<\/em> as a category-based nested form<\/em> (on the situation level).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture of the Positivist’s judgment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0095 The positivist intellect<\/em> has a rule, “Metaphysics is not allowed.”  This mandate governs the situation level and assists in differentiating phenomena2a<\/sub><\/em> from the thing itself2a<\/sub><\/em>.  Phenomena2a<\/sub><\/em> cannot be regarded as metaphysical, while the noumenon2a<\/sub><\/em> (things that ordinary people are talking about) is commonly regarded in terms of outlawed metaphysical formal and final causalities<\/em>.  In other words, a lot of things that people say2a<\/sub><\/em> are ignored by the observations and measurements1b<\/sub><\/em> of various experts3b<\/sub><\/em>.  If an opinion2a<\/sub> smacks of metaphysical connotations,<\/em> or does not pertain to what contributes to the construction of a model,<\/em> then it cannot be regarded as phenomena2a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0096 Now, at the risk of overcrowding a diagram, I can place this nuanced explanation for why an actuality that looks like the empirio-schematic judgment2c<\/sub> <\/em>can contextualize the situation-level unfolded empirio-schematic judgment<\/em> in the interscope for the post-truth condition<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
