Abstract
The concept of interconnection is fundamental to the modelling of
disrete physical systems. On the bais of centuries of scientific
experience, everyone will agree that the concept is part of a
logically consistent approach, permitting us to draw conclusions,
verifiable by observations, from basic laws or assumptions. Yet
interconnection as an abstract concept seems to be without
scientific underpinning in oure logic. Adopting a historical
viewpoint, our aim is to show that the reasoning of
interconnection may be identified with a neglected kind of logical
inference, called "colligation" by Charles Sanders Peirce.
