As an added comment, regarding the order, Peirce wrote: 'the Dynamoid Object determines the Immediate Object which determines the Sign itself, which determines the Destinate Interpretant which determines the Effective Interpretant which determines the Explcit Interpretant. Letter Dec 23, 1908.

I was only listing the six trichotomies that come AFTER the first four, which are Od > Oi > S > (S-Od). Including all ten this time ... (a) Od > Oi > S > (S-Od) > If > Id > Ii > (S-If) > (S-Id) > (S-Od-If). (b) Od > Oi > S > (S-Od) > If > (S-If) > Id > (S-Id) > Ii > (S-Od-If). (c) Od > Oi > S > (S-Od) > (S-Od-If) > (S-If) > If > (S-Id) > Id > Ii. I also forgot to mention that (a), unlike (b) and (c), is consistent with T. L. Short's assertion on page 253 of Peirce's Theory of Signs (2007) that Ii > (S-If) > (S-Id) is the only workable order for those three trichotomies. He even provided illustrative examples to support this claim, as follows. 1 > 1 > 1 = qualitative/hypothetic, term/rheme/seme, presented/suggestive = any work of art so far as ‘pure.’ 2 > 1 > 1 = experiental/categorical, term/rheme/seme, presented/suggestive = pokes in the back, pointings. 2 > 2 > 1 = experiental/categorical, proposition/dicent/pheme, presented/suggestive = questions. 2 > 2 > 2 = experiental/categorical, proposition/dicent/pheme, urged/imperative = commands, moral imperatives. 3 > 1 > 1 = logical/relative, term/rheme/seme, presented/suggestive = nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs. 3 > 2 > 1 = logical/relative, proposition/dicent/pheme, presented/suggestive = hypotheses, proposed plans. 3 > 2 > 2 = logical/relative, proposition/dicent/pheme, urged/imperative = assertions. 3 > 3 > 1 = logical/relative, argument/delome, presented/suggestive = the presentation of an argument. 3 > 3 > 2 = logical/relative, argument/delome, urged/imperative = the urging of an argument. 3 > 3 > 3 = logical/relative, argument/delome, submitted/indicative = the submission of an argument. Qualitative, experiential, and logical are my shorthand for Peirce's division of signs based on the immediate interpretant as given at CP8.339--"interpretable in qualities of feeling or experience," "interpretable in actual experiences," "interpretable in thoughts or other signs of the same kind in infinite series." Presented, urged, and submitted come from CP8.338, which is also where Peirce clearly indicates that (S-If) > (S-Id). "According to my present view, a sign may appeal to its dynamic interpretant in three ways: 1st, an argument only may be submitted to its interpretant, as something the reasonableness of which will be acknowledged. 2nd, an argument or dicent may be urged upon the interpretant by an act of insistence. 3rd, argument or dicent may be, and a rheme can only be, presented to the interpretant for contemplation."
