Derrida systematically replaces logic with graphic across his conceptual vocabulary
Evidence
Over the years, even as he has been practicing paleonymy, Derrida has been deploying an alternate denomination for the method of metaphysics, disclosed or undisclosed, that inhabits the language of the human sciences. There are many names on this list. The most recognizable might be: the graphic of the trace rather than the logic of the simple origin; the graphic of difference rather than the logic of identity; the graphic of supplementarity rather than the logic of non-contradiction. Sec and “Limited Inc.” add another: the graphic of iterability rather than the logic of repetition. — Donna Landry and Gerald MacLean, The Spivak Reader, 719
