I would rather see as Mark Type Token, using Type as mediation...
I agree that the type is the mediator, but changing the order would
conflict with the names Firstness, Secondness, and Thirdness. It's
better to draw them in a triangle with Type at the top.
Major advantage of triangles: They are ideal for a kind of
"diagrammatic reasoning" in which the triangles can be linked
in various combinations.
Thirdness only functions within a triad... Its 'purposive action'
is to organize, mediate, confine etc... the individualities of the
Mark and Token operating in modes of Firstness and Secondness.
I agree.
