I do urge you to read the Spinks book; he goes into great detail on the interpretants. That 'third trichotomy' or 'signs related to their interpretants..all the way from ch 3 through 6. Very detailed.
If we are talking about 'Interpretant Growth', which is to say, the depth of information held within that Interpretant, then, the growth must be from the II to DI to FI. The II is internal and thus, lacks the breadth and depth of relations with Others of the DI and FI. And certainly, categorically, Thirdness cannot, in these interpretants, precede Firstness. That would be a Platonic essentialism, suggesting that 'Truth' was pre-existent and Formed..and would 'draw' matter/concepts to it. I don't follow your interpretation of the Spink's comment - I see the Destinate as a synonym of Immediate; the Effective is Dynamic; and the Explicit is Final/Normal. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Alan Schmidt To: Edwina Taborsky Cc: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2015 11:03 AM Subject: Re: [PEIRCE-L] Order of Interpretant Trichotomies for Sign Classes Edwina, List: Thank you for the book suggestion, I will look into it. However ... EDWINA: If the Dynamic Interpretant is in a mode of Thirdness, then, the Final won't be in a mode of Firstness! This is what we agreed earlier; but it entails that destinate=final and explicit=immediate. SPINKS, p. 197: the Destinate Interpretant becomes the Immediate Interpretant of the fifth trichotomy, the Effective Interpretant becomes the Dynamical Interpretants (Active and Passive) of the sixth and seventh trichotomoies, and the Explicit Interpretant becomes the eight, ninth and tenth trichtomoies dealing with the "Normal Interpretant" If this is correct--and I thought it was until yesterday--then the order is Ii => Id => In; i.e., if the dynamic interpretant is in a mode of Thirdness, then the final interpretant CAN be in in a mode of Firstness. Again, we agreed earlier that this is NOT the case. The adjustment to my notation (=> rather than >) reflects the fact that the adicity of each trichotomy (1, 2, or 3) must always be equal to or less than that of its predecessor.
