List Robert Marty provided us with a lattice of the ten classes of triadic signs- and referred to them as showing ‘a phenomenological principle of embodiments’.
I think that should be the focus - not the terms that Peirce used - but the actuality of semiosis. What does semiosis do? It is an organizational process that ‘embodies’ energy/matter/information into one form, and then, enables the transformation of this form with its energy/matter/information content…into another morphological form. This suggests that semiosis organizes energy/matter/information - and both ADDS to one embodiment..and/or REMOVES from an embodiment. And also- reorganizes try content... Robert has shown this in his lattice, where. For example, a Dicent Indexical Legisign [322] a street cry] embodies Rheumatic Indexical Legisigns [321] a demonstrative pronoun…Notice that the Dicent has picked up information, or added information, to that Rhematic triad. It’s moved from an interpretant in Firstness to one in Secondness - it’s more specific and focused. Now- how did it do this? Where did this extra information come from? Is it the Legisign process that is transforming this morphology? Edwina
