<p>I am going, next, to show that inference is symbolization and that the puzzle of the validity of scientific inference lies merely in this superfluous comprehension and is therefore entirely removed by a consideration of the laws of ''information''.  (Peirce, CE 1, 467).</p>

<p>Now, I ask, how is it that anything can be done with a symbol, without reflecting upon the conception, much less imagining the object that belongs to it?  It is simply because the symbol has acquired a nature, which may be described thus, that when it is brought before the mind certain principles of its use &mdash; whether reflected on or not &mdash; by association immediately regulate the action of the mind;  and these may be regarded as laws of the symbol itself which it cannot ''as a symbol'' transgress.  (Peirce, CE 1, 173).</p>
