a , b =, 0

This might be interesting and
indeed would be, but does
not look hopeful for the
present purpose at all.

In return, then; we must get along without the rule that if

L (exp. x) =, M (exp. y)

L (exp. x,a) =, M (exp. y,a)

This holds with arithmetical but not with logical.

Log (lower exp. e) a has several values Let the sum of them

Addition (exp.,) Log (exp. a, lower exp. e) = L (exp.a, lower exp.r)

then this is a particular value of Log (lower exp. e a)

Then if a = L (exp. b) b, L (exp.a, lower exponential r) =, b

For a proper expression of exponentials and other symbols, I would need to be able to use, at least, the tools of Word on this platform. How can I do that?

Hello Miguel,
We plan to incorporate a full LaTeX package into FromThePage. The package has been developed by Ahti Pietarinen, and it has the symbols needed to encode all of Peirce's writings. As such, it has a full set of mathematical symbols, all of those used by Peirce in his various systems of algebraic logic, and all of the icons and symbols used in the existential graphs up through the gamma system with modal operators. We hope to be able to have that LaTeX package ready for use some time this Spring. I will send everyone a note when that happens. For now, the pilot project we are running is simply to check the ability of the transcription platform to handle the simpler pages of manuscripts that only contain text. The system has a set of TEI commands for underlining, strike through, and insertions, and we will post a style guide for using those when we are ready to kickstart the project in earnest.

Thank you, Jeff. I look forward to incorporating the tools you mention. In the meantime I'll do what I can when I can. Miguel

Hello Miguel, the enhancements to the transcription platform for the SPIN project have been made, and it is now possible to encode a wide range of formulae, figures and diagrams--including Peirce's Existential Graphs--in LaTeX. A guide for using LaTeX to make encodings of the EG will be posted shortly on the Peirce Collection main page. If you would like to see how the system renders such encodings, see our test page: http://fromthepage.com/display/display_page?page_id=3762
