Gary, all, On the road and only time for a brief note ...
The most important thing to understand about the variety of objects and interpretant signs related to a given sign is that they all fit within the same triadic sign relation L ⊆ O × S × I. In other words, the addition of various new types of objects and interpretants does not require additional relational dimensions beyond three.
