According to Charles Sanders Peirce, the mind proceeds in triads, the sign, the blunt truth and a third thing - an experimental rule to resolve the conflict, something that could become a habit. If it works. This is the pragmatic process within us all. All the time. Peirce is a cure for nominalism. For exclusive reliance on binary thinking. I am sure this study buttresses the understanding Peirce came to well before the placebo effect was a common phrase.
