| 2013-03-01 16:46 | Diff · History | 28 | →Pragmatic model: As at main Peirce article, correcting my worst Wikipedia mistake ever. Peirce didn't say "congruity" or "dilettante" in "Fixation" or elsewhere on this that I can find. I must've gotten them from my early (mis-)reading of discussions |
| 2013-02-24 02:45 | Diff · History | 2 | →Pragmatic model: Changed "destining some minds to doubts |
| 2012-02-12 16:55 | Diff · History | -3 | →Pragmatic model: Removed quote marks around the word "leap" since I suspect some mistake it for a Peirce quote, & added "so to speak". Also trimmed unneeded "(and explicit)" from ii. Probation... |
| 2011-06-14 18:53 | Diff · History | 14 | →Pragmatic model: Wikilinked "Corollarial" to Corollary now beefed up with Peirce's conception of it. Also transposed "capricious and accidental" --> "accidental and capricious" |

| 2010-10-13 16:45 | Diff · History | -1 | →Pragmatic model: Replaced "collaboration of three kinds of inference" --> "coordination of three kinds of inference". Thus later phrase "coordinative method" will allude back to it. |
| 2010-10-11 16:46 | Diff · History | -66 | →Pragmatic model: Deleted "In economic terms," inserted "It points to efficiency" nearby. Also, a simple but unlikely guess, if uncostly to test for falsity, may belong first in line for testing. |

| 2010-08-24 16:51 | Diff · History | -1 | →Pragmatic model: Replaced "proposes a new or outside idea" --> "which guesses a new or outside idea". That's in order to better pave the way for the next mention of guesses. |
| 2010-08-24 16:25 | Diff · History | -75 | →Pragmatic model: Tweaks. Broke long sentence into shorter ones. Wordiness reduction which made room for clarification elsewhere. |

| 2010-08-17 23:00 | Diff · History | 34 | →Pragmatic model: Edited the paragraph that begins "In Peirce's view". Some trimming, some additions. Peirce called the final opinion "destined," not "ideal," a word I'd used as stopgap |
| 2010-08-16 18:51 | Diff · History | 35 | →Pragmatic model: Added "for the sake of belief's integrity". I believe that that's all for the last few days' series of edits. |
