Helmut, List,

In systems theory and engineering there is a well-recognized duality
or complementarity between the dimensions of Control and Information,
also cast in terms of Action and Perception, Actuators and Detectors,
Effectors and Sensors, and many other aliases.  There are the devices
of "reachability matrices", representing the operations needed to put
a system in a given state, and "observability matrices", representing
the operations needed to identify a system as being in a given state.

The appearance of matrices at this point, understood in the sense of
2-dimesional rectangular arrays of coefficients, should clue us to the
mainly dyadic character of the analysis and design that issue from them.
And yet there is every opportunity in systems theory and engineering to
open up the additional "elbow room" that triadic relations can provide.

Regards,

Jon

Thank you, Jon! I see it somehow like this: There are action systems and
reflection systems. My way of triadizing would be:  In an active system the
triad is "event (or action), entity (or object), relation (or set of relations,
structure)".  All these three parts are internalized (represented-as-) entities
or objects in a reflecting system, a mind.  The triad "event, entity, relation"
applies to a reflective system as well, but here the events are that what
happens in a mind (representamens??).  The relations are the persistent concepts
that are present to the mind (like ways of thinking, routines: laws, habits,
thirdnesses??), and the entities (immediate objects??) are the concepts or
memory contents the mind has access to in a situation (a sign situation).
I am not sure of this, it is just a scetch.  Maybe it would be better, not to
say "entity", but "object". What would an interpretant be? Maybe a new 
relation...
Best,
Helmut
