Jon - I explained a 'literal-bound' analysis in my post, when I gave the example of Saussurian semiological nominalism, where 'this word' stands for 'that meaning'.
As for the triad of semiosis, I've explained mediation many times before and won't repeat that explanation.

What exactly do you mean by "a 'literal-bound' analysis of Peirce"? What exactly is "that evolving and complex mediating 'law'" that you seem to believe is essential to proper interpretation? As far as I can tell, Jerry did not point out any such thing in his response, so maybe I am just missing something.

That, in my view, moves into Saussurian semiological nominalism where 'this word' has just 'that meaning'. Such a dyadic one-to-one referential framework i.e., where interpretation absents itself from that evolving and complex mediating 'law' [as Jerry points out] is the antithesis of Peircean semiosis.
