Summary/Abstract: The intensive development of mathematical-logical semiotic means gave birth to the illusion that mathematical logic, in particular, is the only representative and lawful inheritor of a thousand years logical tradition. The fact that mathematical logic expressed ancient logical relationships in symbolic form does not yet mean that it has replaced them with its typical sign relationships or semantic interpretations. To conclude we want to add that our effort was to reveal the invariant structures of particularly heterogeneous materials as the weather lore is, and our attempt to logically verify the knowledge, many a time merely illustrating, ways of statement on the material examined.
