Peircers, There is of course more to hypostatic abstraction than converting adjectives and verbs into nouns, or predicates into subjects. It also analyzes a predicate of one arity into an extra subject and a predicate of a higher arity.
Continuation of that analysis to its ultimate limit ends in what Peirce called a “continuous predicate”. Here's a couple of articles I originally wrote for Wikipedia. I haven't looked to see if anything is left of them there but the copies at InterSciWiki and the English Wikiversity still have most of their faculties intact.
