Posology
2
Introduction
31. 1. Logic
Instruments, or say signs,
by which, by posology,
impressions, (a) , thence
ideas, are located in
the mind — differ as
between alegomorphics
or morphoscopics; and
as the senses they present
themselves to
differ — viz. 1. hearing
2. sight.
☞ Note - for extension
of 1. hearing stentorophonic
tube,- 2. sight,
telegraphic apparatus.
32. 1(a) Logic
By David Hume
distinguished from
ideas.
33.2. Logic
Mode of operation
in both alegomorphic
and morphoscopic, the
end in view is acquiring
and possessing information
as yet unpossessed
knowledge of things as
yet unknown.
34.3. Logic
Means of obtainment
their situations relation to things
known.
35.4 Logic
Elucidations
Shown below, of Alegomorphics whatever
is done by in alegomorphics
is by indication
of equivalency —i.e.
identity of ideas signified
and communicated.
36 or 5. Alegomorphic
its Uses
Alegomorphics — its uses.
1. as is compared with
ordinary written language
saving of time
and labour in writing
and printing.
2. So expense of materials
3. — to the reader, time.
4. Item, expense in
purchase.
5. To the reader, communicating
results
which otherwise the
expense in time and
money would render
unreceivable.
For the particular
modes of effecting these
savings, see Ch.2
Means of facilitation
37. 6 Alegomorphics
Equivalent C
Included in the import
of equivalents is that
of synonyms — a term
equivalent thus
applied is not, is inadequate,
not being
applied to many worded
locutions or say
phrases.
38.7 Alegomorphics
Equivalents
Instruments of discourse
between which equivalence
has place are
1. Words and words.
2. Words and phrases.
3. Phrases and phrases
39.8 Equivalents
In comparative
consists the advantage obtained
through equivalence:
the more brief being substituted
to its otherwise equivalent
locution and abbreviation
thus
40 9. Logic
Thus is logic the prime
source of improvement
in posology.
41. 10. Morphoscopics
Mixt Uses
Practical uses of morphoscopics —
In regard to bodies
1. obtaining knowledge
of dimensions not
otherwise knowable
42. 11.
Example — dimension
of spots rendered
inaccessible by height
or being covered by
water. See Ch.
Conjectural History
43. 12. Morphoscopics
Uses of mixt
2. Anticipating the
result of structures
and arrangements
of mechanics:
thence saving time,
labour, and expense
of preparatory examination
expenditure.
44. 13. Morphoscopics
Mixt Uses
Examples of results thus
ascertainable by anticipation —
1. States of things or persons
2. Motions of things or persons.
3. Operations instrumental
or say subservient to do.
4. Separation; as by
mining, fishing, and
agriculture.
5. Junction; as by formation
of receptacles for
persons and things — viz.
1. Habitation for persons
2. Warehouses for things
Habitations are
1. Stationary = Edifices
2. Itinerant = Carriages —
viz
1. by land
2. by water = navigable
vessels.
