Jeff D., lists,
Where does Peirce discuss agent and patient as a dyadic relation? I'm
willing to believe that he does so. I recall (perhaps inaccurately) that
he called the sign's object the _/agent/_ and the sign itself the
_/patient/_, but didn't call the interpretant the _/act/_.

Lists,
When it comes to Peirce's explanation the distinction between subject and
object, I would think that we might start with his account of the ordered
dyadic relation between patient and agent. From these humble beginnings, we
are able to build systems of richer relations--such as those involved in saying
that there is some object of inquiry before me, and that I am a inquirer in
search of the truth about the nature of that object.
