Edwina, List: I am not addressing "the order of the semiosic process," I am simply trying to work out the order of the ten trichotomies that results in 66 sign classes after applying what I have been calling Peirce's rule of determination. "It is evident that a Possible can determine nothing but a Possible; it is equally so that a Necessitant can be determined by nothing but a Necessitant"--i.e., a Third can determine a First, a Second, or a Third; a Second can determine either a First or a Second; and a First can determine only a First.
Short's examples are NOT the standard ten classes that come from the three trichotomies of Sign > Relation of Sign to Object > Relation of Sign to Interpretant. Rather, as I indicated, they come from the three trichotomies of Immediate Interpretant > Relation of Sign to Final Interpretant > Relation of Sign to Dynamic Interpretant. What you subsequently quoted from Peirce comes right after his rule of determination, but it is not entirely clear that the destinate-effective-explicit interpretants are the final-dynamic-immediate interpretants, in that order; I now believe that they are.
