Logic: Conditions and Consequences — Series Introduction

What makes logic possible — and what does logic, in turn, make possible? Logic: Conditions and Consequences explores this question through the lens of relational ontology and systemic functional linguistics (SFL), revealing logic as a reflexive semiotic architecture that structures and generates relational potential.

This series examines:

• Preconditions of Logic: How semiotic patterning, recursive construal, and linguistic scaffolds enable humans to articulate inference, coherence, and relational consistency.

• Consequences of Logic: How formalised reasoning stabilises semiotic fields, structures possible inferences, and recursively generates higher-order relational patterns across symbolic, cognitive, and social domains.

• Logic in Practice: How logical systems underlie mathematics, computation, scientific reasoning, social coordination, and cognitive processes, shaping the landscape of semiotic and relational potential.

• Synthesis — Reflexive Semiotic Architecture: How logic actualises relational potential, individuates structured patterns, and functions as a meta-semiotic engine of possibility, enabling the exploration and extension of what is coherent, necessary, and possible.

Readers are invited to trace the dynamics of logic as a system in which relation itself is both object and operator, a symbolic infrastructure where semiotic potential is structured, actualised, and endlessly generative.
