0482 Before proceeding to the second interview in this article,<\/em> an interlude is in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undoubtedly readers, unfamiliar with the philosophy of Charles Peirce, can scarcely imagine that signs are triadic relations that couple category-based nested forms,<\/em> which are also triadic relations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, I suppose that few scholars rely on Peirce’s philosophy as a tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To most, Peirce’s ideas and nomenclature are subjects for inquiry and refinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0483 In contrast, the TMS school<\/em> clearly uses Saussure’s semiology<\/em> as a tool for inquiry.  The same applies to structuralism.<\/em>  Structuralism alters the discipline of linguistics, once everyone realizes that, if Saussure’s definition of the spoken word<\/em> is valid, and if spoken words are placeholders in<\/em> a system of vocal differences<\/em> (parole<\/em>) that is arbitrarily related to a system of mental differences<\/em> (langue<\/em>), then linguistics<\/em> has shifted from the humanities<\/em> into the sciences<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0484 I suspect that the TMS school may be more likely to use diagrams based on Peirce’s categories<\/em> as tools, once it becomes apparent that these diagrams expound the school’s historical consciousness of development in time,<\/em> as well as its cosmological consciousness of a foundational invention<\/em> that well… promises to deliver what natural and social science cannot deliver.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is, meaning1a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0485 What is the question at hand?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know, but everyone knows that scientific inquiry<\/em> cannot produce meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here, it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How confounding<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is that the foundational invention?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0486 In this interlude (G-J), I will re-present<\/em> the fundament (the semiological3a <\/sub>structuralist3b<\/sub> or the “loquens”) interscope (G), wrap up<\/em> the remaining virtual nested form and emergent (H), portray<\/em> the transition from fundament to derivative interscopes (I), then present <\/em>two comparisons that shed light on the shimmering brilliance of the TMS invention (J).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0487 Two works by Razie Mah may assist in the appreciation of the following interscope.  A Primer on the Category-Based Nested Form<\/em> and A Primer on Sensible and Social Construction<\/em>.  These are available at smashwords and other-book vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a diagram of the fundament interscope (G).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

0488 The invention of this interscope opens the door for the Tartu-Moscow School to flourish within a political regime that prides itself on its own scientific foundations.  The perspective-level nested form coheres to the shape of the empirio-schematic judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the virtual nested forms in the categories of thirdness and firstness, already discussed, do not give any impression of subjectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0489 These are the features that the interview on August 25, 2011<\/em> discuss.  The reason?  One cannot directly observe normal contexts3<\/sub> and potentials1<\/sub>.  Nonetheless, one can discuss them.  That is one of the advantages of the ability of speech-alone talk<\/em> to attach a label to anything<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0490 The virtual nested form in secondness<\/em> portrays the workings of this tool of the intellect<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

0491 Actuality starts with langue2am<\/sub><\/em> as matter and parole2af<\/sub><\/em> as form.  Saussure’s thing2a<\/sub><\/em> stands as a hylomorphe within the schema of Peirce’s secondness<\/em>.  A convenient label for Saussure’s thing2a<\/sub> is “language”.  Language is may further be labeled as “subject” and described as “subjective”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, language2bm<\/sub> as matter<\/em> virtually situates the entire content-level actuality2a<\/sub><\/em> (in terms of systems of differences) and directly substantiates a literary text2bf<\/sub><\/em> (in the broadest sense of the term) as form.  While the substances within each actuality within the content level<\/em> may be investigated subjectively,<\/em> consideration of word use2bm<\/sub> within a system3b<\/sub>according to the laws of that system1b<\/sub><\/em> must be objective<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objective considerations<\/em> support intersubjective proposals<\/em>, if a language with exact methods3c<\/sub><\/em> is available.  The intersubjective result<\/em> is a semiological structuralist model2c<\/sub><\/em> based on observations of phenomena1c<\/sub> in the literary text2bf<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0492 Does the intersubjective<\/em> ever become suprasubjective?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The semiological model2c<\/sub><\/em> transports the literary text<\/em> from a form2bf<\/sub> that is substantiated by language as matter2bm<\/sub><\/em> to a form2af<\/sub> that entangles the character of how we (humans) define the spoken word2am<\/sub>,<\/em> that is, language2am<\/sub> as matter itself<\/em>.  Spoken language2b<\/sub><\/em> is two arbitrarily related systems of differences<\/em> in the fundament (or “loquens”) interscope<\/em>.  Spoken language2a<\/sub><\/em> manifests the potentials of meaning1a<\/sub>, presence1b<\/sub> and message1c<\/sub><\/em> in the derivative (or “ego”) interscope<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doesn’t that seem miraculous (H)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0493 By appearance, the arrow mimics the proclivity of triumphalist natural scientists to replace the noumenon with a successful model, <\/em>in order that the model (substituting for the noumenon)<\/em> can be objectified by its phenomena<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, maybe it seems triumphalist (H, again).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0494 On the situation level of the loquens interscope,<\/em> the literary text2bf<\/sub> is the noumenon, the thing itself<\/em>.  But how can that be, if it2bf<\/sub> is substantiated by the matter of language2bm<\/sub>,<\/em> where language2bm<\/sub> is technically defined by Ferdinand de Saussure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, before answering that question, I hurry to the next statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the content level of the ego interscope,<\/em> the literary text2af<\/sub><\/em> is couched in a semiostructuralist model2c<\/sub><\/em> that presents itself as the thing itself2af<\/sub><\/em>, in order to entangle a new set of phenomena1<\/sub><\/em>.   These phenomena1<\/sub><\/em> are recognized in gestalt fashion<\/em> by humans during the game of pantomime<\/em>.   These phenomena1<\/sub><\/em> are meaning1a<\/sub>, presence1b<\/sub> and message1c<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0495 Plus, if Kant’s slogan holds, these phenomena<\/em> cannot objectify their noumenon<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, if triumphalism holds, these phenomena<\/em> can objectify the model that substitutes for the noumenon<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
