Jerry,

 

I mean that Firstness is not the quality of being first in a sequence or 
ordered collection of three (or any number of) members; Secondness is not the 
quality of being second in a sequence; and Thirdness is not the quality of 
being third in a sequence.

 

[[ Firstness is that which is such as it is positively and regardless of 
anything else. 

Secondness is that which is as it is in a second something's being as it is, 
regardless of any third. 

Thirdness is that whose being consists in its bringing about a secondness. ] 
—Peirce, EP2:267]

Gary f, list:

What do you mean by “Firstness, Secondness and Thirdness are not ordinal 
concepts in Peirce’s phenomenology”, please?
