Computational Audit
Computational Audit of the Recursive Peircean Reconstruction
What is proved, what is merely encoded, and what could falsify the interpretation.
Audit Boundary
The companion computational audit exhaustively checks large finite families of models and searches for counterexamples to the fixed finite claims. It is corroboration and regression testing, not a substitute for the general proofs in the manuscript.
Large finite families are exhausted and searched for counterexamples to the encoded claims.
The published bundle makes the finite checks and artifact identities independently inspectable.
Computation does not prove that Kant's table instantiates the reconstructed structure.
Finite Model Encoded On This Site
These are the exact finite structures checked by the companion audit.
- 3roles
- 4headings
- 12cells
- Roles: 3, with Presentation, Discrimination, and Mediated Integration denoted by ⟨1⟩, ⟨2⟩, and ⟨3⟩, respectively.
- Headings: 4, with Quality, Quantity, Modality, and Relation encoded as 00, 10, 01, and 11, respectively.
- Cells: 12, exactly one for every role-heading pair.
- Reversal: τ(00)=00, τ(10)=01, τ(01)=10, τ(11)=11.
- Orbit sizes: 1:2:1 for {00}, {10, 01}, and {11}, respectively.
Terms Used Here
- Boundary
- The character of a determination at its input or output: closed when no free contextual parameter remains, indexed when an explicit contextual parameter remains.
- Reversal
- The operation that exchanges the ordered input and output characters of a heading profile.
- Reversal class
- All profiles connected by that exchange: {00} · {10, 01} · {11}.
- Quotient
- The coarser three-part classification obtained by treating profiles in the same reversal class as equivalent, forgetting orientation while retaining the number of indexed positions.
Quantity Correspondence
- Plurality / Particular: , Particular scope presents open support without designating which witness supplies it.
- Unity / Singular: , Singular judgment designates this member of the manifold rather than leaving the witness open or ranging exhaustively.
- Totality / Universal: , Universal scope integrates every coordinate under one exhaustive condition.

What the Audit Does Not Establish
The mathematics does not by itself prove that Kant's table is this structure. The substantive philosophical burden remains in:
τ ∘ τ = id because 4 listed profiles return to themselves after two reversals.
Formal Model
Mathematical surrogates that make the claimed structure inspectable.
Historical-Systematic Argument
The philosophical claim that this formal structure captures the texts well.
