Pericean Abduction, Signs & Design Transfer
- We take abduction to be the central 'logical' and social "mechanism" of knowledge generation in general, applicable to everyday life, design, and the sciences. In our designerly methodological terms, we speak of ANALYSIS (the inductive phase), PROJECTION (the abductive phase) and SYNTHESIS (the deductive phase). We suppose that projection is enabled by abduction, and that understanding the abductive mechanisms in design PROJECTION is essential for the development of genuine designerly concepts of research. We hypothesize that transfer and transferability are relevant concepts and that establishing their relation to abduction is necessary. We set up quasi-experiments to examine design transfer. Based on the results of the experiments and following , we relate Peircean semiotics to his logical theory: his classes of signs are also classes of abduction. Firstly, we subscribe to Peirce's semiotic -a sign is in a triadic relation among object, interpretant and sign itself. Then we...
