No, and I did not say earlier that all possibilities are real; actually, the opposite. Possibilities, Firstness, are building blocks or raw qualia that may be seen once a particular is evident or expressed. You continue the same error of understanding, in my view, by using the label unicorn as the idea of the thing unicorn. I admit, it is a tricky part of Peirce's view. And, per my first paragraph, the possibility focus is misplaced.
No, as I thought I indicated, I can not. This perspective is a supposition on my part based on other similar distinctions (objective-subjective) Peirce made. It is just a logical way to address the question you asked, that I think is a strong abduction. In fact, this gets to the heart of my original article: How can one be informed by Peirce to address new questions that he himself had not already considered? Thanks, Mike
