Semantics for existential graphs
Journal of Philosophical Logic 27 (5):489-503 (1998)
Abstract
This paper examines Charles Peirce's graphical notation for first-order logic with identity. The notation forms a part of his system of "existential graphs," which Peirce considered to be his best work in logic. In this paper a Tarskian semantics is provided for the graphical systemMy notes
