The thing is, as I said earlier, the Sign (that triad) is not a closed entity-in-itself. It operates in a complex network. So, for example, the Dynamic Interpretant, in a mode of Firstness or Secondness or even Thirdness...could connect with, and its informational content in whole or part, could become part of a particular Dynamic Object. Or be generalized within the laws of a Representamen. And then, that new Dynamic Object, and new Representamen, could function again, in another semiosic interaction, and move on this time to the Final Interpretant...which could, yet again, become part of that original Dynamic Object...and be generalized within the Representamen. And so on. It's a dynamic, complex, evolving process - and there's no Final State.

I am still pondering whether this way of visualizing everything might offer any helpful insights about the nature of the various trichotomies and their logical order of determination, especially when it comes to the interpretants.
