Hello Jon, list.
I assembled (from paper and tape) the first 3 rows and columns from W:4 (P.195)
into a pyramid with a square base. I believe the object is a product of a
triple by the power of dual relatives. ("9") I can imagine turning it into a
cone with a circular base and so forth. I also thought of how the French
expedition off S America figured the position of the equator back in Peirce's
day. There are a lot of empirical uses. There are also a few different ways
to organize the method, which is interesting. I could even relabel the edges
with (G,O,I) in order to make a point about signs. Any node, edge or midpoint
could be cast in the role. Just think of the apex. I stipulate that this shall
be the "ground." What would that mean? It is the first entry in the n x n
matrice or the mittel punkt of a four square grid?
