====Pragmatic Maxim as Closure Principle====
====Pragmatic Maxim as Closure Principle====
<pre>
<blockquote>
Consider what effects that might ''conceivably'' have practical bearings you ''conceive'' the objects of your ''conception'' to have. Then, your ''conception'' of those effects is the whole of your ''conception'' of the object. (C.S. Peirce, CP 5.438).

Consider the following attempts at interpretation:
Consider the following attempts at interpretation:
: Your concept of <math>x\!</math> is your concept of the practical effects of <math>x.\!</math>
Not exactly. It seems a bit more like:

An ordinary closure principle looks like this:
An ordinary closure principle looks like this:
C(x) = C(C(x))
: <math>C(x) = C(C(x))\!</math>
It is tempting to try and read the pragmatic maxim
It is tempting to try and read the pragmatic maxim as if it had the following form, where <math>C\!</math> and <math>E\!</math> are supposed to be a 1-adic functions for "concept of" and "effects of", respectively.
as if it had the following form, where C and E are
supposed to be a 1-adic functions for "concept of"
and "effects of", respectively.
1-adic functional case:

C(x) = C(E(x))
: <math>C(x) = C(E(x))\!</math>
But it is really more like:

2-adic functional case:

C(y, x) = C(y, E(y, x))

E(y, x) C(y, E(y, x))
E(y, x) C(y, E(y, x))
</pre>
The concept that you have of <math>x\!</math> is the concept that you have of the effects that you know of <math>x.\!</math>
It is also very likely that the functional interpretations will not do the trick, and that 3-adic relations will need to be used instead.
