A '''logical graph''' is a [[graph theory|graph-theoretic]] structure in one of the systems of graphical syntax that [[Charles Sanders Peirce]] developed for logic.
A '''logical graph''' is a graph-theoretic structure in one of the systems of graphical syntax that Charles Sanders Peirce developed for logic.
In his papers on ''[[qualitative logic]]'', ''[[entitative graph]]s'', and ''[[existential graph]]s'', Peirce developed several versions of a graphical formalism, or a graph-theoretic formal language, designed to be interpreted for logic.
In his papers on ''qualitative logic'', ''entitative graphs'', and ''existential graphs'', Peirce developed several versions of a graphical formalism, or a graph-theoretic formal language, designed to be interpreted for logic.
In the century since Peirce initiated this line of development, a variety of formal systems have branched out from what is abstractly the same formal base of graph-theoretic structures. This article examines the common basis of these formal systems from a bird's eye view, focusing on those aspects of form that are shared by the entire family of algebras, calculi, or languages, however they happen to be viewed in a given application.

The bird's eye view in question is more formally known as the perspective of formal equivalence, from which remove one cannot see many distinctions that appear momentous from lower levels of abstraction. In particular, expressions of different formalisms whose syntactic structures are [[isomorphic]] from the standpoint of [[algebra]] or [[topology]] are not recognized as being different from each other in any significant sense. Though we may note in passing such historical details as the circumstance that Charles Sanders Peirce used a ''streamer-cross symbol'' where [[George Spencer Brown]] used a ''carpenter's square marker'', the theme of principal interest at the abstract level of form is neutral with regard to variations of that order.

There is a standard way that graphs of the order that Peirce considered, those embedded in a continuous [[manifold]] like that commonly represented by a plane sheet of paper — with or without the paper bridges that Peirce used to augment its topological genus — can be represented in linear text as what are called ''parse strings'' or ''traversal strings'' and parsed into ''pointer structures'' in computer memory.

A blank sheet of paper can be represented in linear text as a blank space, but that way of doing it tends to be confusing unless the logical expression under consideration is set off in a separate display.

When we turn to representing the corresponding expressions in computer memory, where they can be manipulated with utmost facility, we begin by transforming the planar graphs into their topological duals. The planar regions of the original graph correspond to nodes (or points) of the [[dual graph]], and the boundaries between planar regions in the original graph correspond to edges (or lines) between the nodes of the dual graph.

Though it's not really there in the most abstract topology of the matter, for all sorts of pragmatic reasons we find ourselves compelled to single out the outermost region of the plane in a distinctive way and to mark it as the ''[[root node]]'' of the corresponding dual graph. In the present style of Figure the root nodes are marked by horizontal strike-throughs.

It is easy to see the relationship between the parenthetical expressions of Peirce's logical graphs, that somewhat clippedly picture the ordered containments of their formal contents, and the associated dual graphs, that constitute the species of [[rooted tree]]s here to be described.

In the case of our last example, a moment's contemplation of the following picture will lead us to see that we can get the corresponding parenthesis string by starting at the root of the tree, climbing up the left side of the tree until we reach the top, then climbing back down the right side of the tree until we return to the root, all the while reading off the symbols, in this case either <math>{}^{\backprime\backprime} \texttt{(} {}^{\prime\prime}</math> or <math>{}^{\backprime\backprime} \texttt{)} {}^{\prime\prime},</math> that we happen to encounter in our travels.

This ritual is called ''[[traversing]]'' the tree, and the string read off is called the ''[[traversal string]]'' of the tree. The reverse ritual, that passes from the string to the tree, is called ''[[parsing]]'' the string, and the tree constructed is called the ''[[parse graph]]'' of the string. The speakers thereof tend to be a bit loose in this language, often using ''[[parse string]]'' to mean the string that gets parsed into the associated graph.

We have at this point enough material to begin thinking about the forms of [[analogy]], [[iconicity]], [[metaphor]], [[morphism]], whatever you want to call them, that are pertinent to the use of logical graphs in their various logical interpretations, for instance, those that Peirce described as ''[[entitative graph]]s'' and ''[[existential graph]]s''.

Though it may not seem too exciting, logically speaking, there are many reasons to make oneself at home with the system of forms that is represented indifferently, topologically speaking, by rooted trees, balanced strings of parentheses, or finite sets of non-intersecting simple closed curves in the plane.

Regarded as a semiotic process, this amounts to a sequence of signs, every one after the first serving as the ''[[interpretant]]'' of its predecessor, ending in a final sign that may be taken as the canonical sign for their common object, in the upshot being the result of the computation process. Simple as it is, this exhibits the main features of any computation, namely, a semiotic process that proceeds from an obscure sign to a clear sign of the same object, being in its aim and effect an action on behalf of clarification.

Experience teaches that complex objects are best approached in a gradual, laminar, [[module|modular]] fashion, one step, one layer, one piece at a time, and it's just as much the case when the complexity of the object is irreducible, that is, when the articulations of the representation are necessarily at joints that are cloven disjointedly from nature, with some assembly required in the synthetic integrity of the intuition.

That's one good reason for spending so much time on the first half of [[zeroth order logic]], represented here by the primary arithmetic, a level of formal structure that C.S. Peirce verged on intuiting at numerous points and times in his work on logical graphs, and that Spencer Brown named and brought more completely to life.

There is one other reason for lingering a while longer in these primitive forests, and this is that an acquaintance with "bare trees", those as yet unadorned with literal or numerical labels, will provide a firm basis for understanding what's really at issue in such problems as the "ontological status of variables".

It is probably best to illustrate this theme in the setting of a concrete case, which we can do by reviewing the previous example of reductive evaluation shown in Figure 16.

Speaking of algebra, and having encountered already one example of an algebraic law, we might as well introduce the axioms of the ''primary algebra'', once again deriving their substance and their name from the works of [[Charles Sanders Peirce]] and [[George Spencer Brown]], respectively.

The choice of axioms for any formal system is to some degree a matter of aesthetics, as it is commonly the case that many different selections of formal rules will serve as axioms to derive all the rest as theorems. As it happens, the example of an algebraic law that we noticed first, <math>a(~) = (~),</math> as simple as it appears, proves to be provable as a theorem on the grounds of the foregoing axioms.

We might also notice at this point a subtle difference between the primary arithmetic and the primary algebra with respect to the grounds of justification that we have naturally if tacitly adopted for their respective sets of axioms.

The arithmetic axioms were introduced by fiat, in a quasi-[[apriori]] fashion, though of course it is only long prior experience with the practical uses of comparably developed generations of formal systems that would actually induce us to such a quasi-primal move. The algebraic axioms, in contrast, can be seen to derive their motive and their justice from the observation and summarization of patterns that are visible in the arithmetic spectrum.

All of the axioms in this set have the form of equations. This means that all of the inference steps that they allow are reversible. The proof annotation scheme employed below makes use of a double bar <math>\overline{\underline{~~~~~~}}</math> to mark this fact, although it will often be left to the reader to decide which of the two possible directions is the one required for applying the indicated axiom.
