Again, I reject your linear time-phased reading of Peirce; I read
Peirce in a holistic manner.
But again, you can write about 'the elements of which it is
composed' . Here, 'elements' does indeed refer to 'categories'. [By
the way, I can't find that quote in EP2:362ff].
And most certainly, the categories do belong to the field of
consciousness. Again, this is not confined to human consciousness.

Edwina, List:
According to Peirce, identification of the three Categories is the
outcome of analyzing the phaneron into the elements of which it is
composed; or more precisely, into the forms of indecomposable
elements of which it is composed (cf. EP 2:362ff; 1905).
As for "elements of consciousness," that phrase appears in several
writings in the Collected Papers, all considerably earlier than
1903--1.550 (1867), 5.241-247 (1868), 5.295 (1868), 5.395 (1878),
1.382 (1887-8), 6.267 (1892), and 7.542-3&580 (undated). It also
shows up in a 1904 letter (8.290), but there it is being quoted from
someone else.

Mike, list - I agree with you. I don't think that examining the
categorical signs of the phaneron can be understood as " analysis
into the elements of which they are composed".
Peirce referred to the 'elements of consciousness' - a key term is
'consciousness' [not necessarily human] but I understand this phrase
as 'elements of received interaction. ' I agree that it is a
'generality'. And agree with your focus on 'an instance of something
in Firstness, Secondness, Thirdness'.
