}Stephen - you've written a very nice outline.

Hi Gary... I do not see 3 as the end of the process any more than I
see today as the end of time. If triadic thinking is truly different
in sum from nominalistic and binary thinking it is because of 2 --
the index is the crucial modifying or standardizing or conditional
element. The third may as you say not be the end. But it is most
certainly not merely something that goes back into the index - 2. It
represents an effort at continuity -- it is continuity. It is
destined to be fallible of course. Nothing is final. It's
hypothetical until tested. But the intention of all thought is to
achieve something. To solve something. To create a habit or refine it
or alter it. I cannot believe that in all of Peirce there is an
explicit denial of the notion that some practical conclusion is the
aim of thought. How else is triadic to be understood? Most certainly
not as a circle. That is why eternal return is an alluring but
ultimately wrong. Or at least premature like amor fati.

Stephen,
This brings out one difference between your triadic thinking and
Peirce’s. For him, Thirdness is not the end of the process but the
means (as he says in 3.10) or mediation between First and Second,
sometimes pictured as the beginning and end of a line (or linear
process). That’s why he sometimes even defines Thirdness as “that
whose being consists in its bringing about a secondness” (EP2:267).

I think there are myriad ways that things move from 1 to 2 to 3 --
each thought process is one of trillions. Sometimes the primal 1
wrestles with brutal 2 and the willed decision is a no -- all in
seconds. Other times the process might emerge as a 1 topic and be
amplified by 2 an index and then emerge as 3 a creative solution --
or at least as something to try. Triadic thinking insists that
between 1 and 3 there is an index 2 of some sort, enabling a process
of refinement, enlargement, or criticism.
