Hi Craig Thanks very much for your comments Craig. I still need to digest them. Meanwhile, a flood of new ideas came to me and I just want to set them down. There are no doubt mistakes, esp. with regard to subjective/objective.
The Peirce-Leibniz triads Ver.2 I Firstness object substance perception (quale) aesthetics beauty 1st person feeling subjective II Secondness sign monad thought logic truth 2nd person thinking subj/obj III Thirdness interprant supreme monad expression morality goodness 3rd person doing objective It appears that Peirce's three categories match the Leibniz monadic structures as follows: I. = object = Leibniz substance = quale II. Secondness = sign = monad representing that substance. In Peirce, the sign is a word for the experience of that object . In Leibniz, the monads are mental, which I think means subjective. III. Thirdness = interprant (meaning of I and II ) = by the monad of monads. In addition to this, Peirce says that his categories are "predicates of predicates", where the first predicate (dog) is extensive and the second predicate (brown) is intensive. then the overall object might be animal-->dog-->brown. Leibniz says that a monad is a complete concept, meaning all of the possible predicates. I suggest that the first or extensive predicate (dog) is objective and the second predicate (brown) is qualitative or subjective. So that the object as per ceived is a quale or Firstness.
