“…An alternative to the approach outlined in the foregoing, which sees a de-idealization or de-mythologization of the courtly semiotic System äs being fundamental to Gottfried's text, would be the application of a model similar to that suggested by Gallais (1974). Gallais' model offers increased power to subsume ambiguities in a semiotic System, but in so doing relieves the pressure to resolve the ambiguities.…”

“…Following a well-established tradition in structural semantics and narratology [27,28], Gallais and Pollina [10] propose that many classical medieval tales follow the same organizational pattern. More precisely, these narratives exhibit an underlying "intellectual structure" and are organized according to an underlying archetypal format or prototypical pattern.…”

“…These modal operators are structured according to three axes of opposition, (=== ); a triangle of contrariety, (− − − ); another triangle of sub-contrariety, (• • • ); and several edges of subalteration (−→ ). From a dynamical perspective, the temporal evolution of the narrative follows a spiral ( Figure 2) that unwinds (se déroule) around concentric and expanding hexagons of opposition [10,11]. Because the evolution of science can also be conceived as following a spiral pattern [29], its analysis can benefit from the structure in the works by the authors of [10,11].…”

“…This paper complements the above static representation with an analysis of the GFBST in the dynamic evolution of scientific theories. The analysis is based on the metaphor of evolutive hexagonal spirals [10,11], in which the logical modalities associated to scientific theories change over time, as in Figure 2. Our key point in this paradigm is reconciling two apparently contradictory facts.…”

This paper introduces pragmatic hypotheses and relates this concept to the spiral of scientific evolution. Previous works determined a characterization of logically consistent statistical hypothesis tests and showed that the modal operators obtained from this test can be represented in the hexagon of oppositions. However, despite the importance of precise hypothesis in science, they cannot be accepted by logically consistent tests. Here, we show that this dilemma can be overcome by the use of pragmatic versions of precise hypotheses. These pragmatic versions allow a level of imprecision in the hypothesis that is small relative to other experimental conditions. The introduction of pragmatic hypotheses allows the evolution of scientific theories based on statistical hypothesis testing to be interpreted using the narratological structure of hexagonal spirals, as defined by Pierre Gallais.

Color-Coded Epistemic Modes in a Jungian Hexagon of Opposition

This article considers distinct ways of understanding the world, referred to in psychology as functions of consciousness or as cognitive modes, having as the scope of interest epistemology and natural sciences. Inspired by C.G. Jung's simile of the spectrum, we consider three basic cognitive modes associated to: (R) embodied instinct, experience, and action; (G) reality perception and learning; and (B) concept abstraction, rational thinking, and language. RGB stand for the primary colors: red, green, and blue. Accordingly, a conceptual map between cognitive modes and primary and secondary colors is built based on the physics and physiology of color perception and epistemological characteristics of the aforementioned cognitive modes, leading to logical relations structured as an hexagon of opposition. Finally, this model of cognitive modes is applied to the analysis and interpretation of some important episodes in the historical development of physics and technology.
