How does your ordered list of biological temporal events differ from a simplistic causal sequence from the logic of antecedent to consequence? (With pragmatic omission of the material cause of the loud sound.) That is, the initial (mechanical?) cause of sound is not stated so that the symbolic terms, symbolized as DO, IO, R, II, and DI lack concrete meaning. By lacking concrete meaning, I infer that each of five terms could be replaced with 2 terms that expressed a similar meaning, generating 10 terms, (DO1, DO2), (IO1, IO2), (R1, R2), (II1, II2), and (D1,D2). Of course, one would need to be a little bit clever about how meaning of two words are associated with one symbol. (but, the intrinsic vagueness of each of these logic terms facilitates such substitutions of words for symbols.) Of course, logically one could replace each partition of primary terms with more than 2 terms… Substituting 3 terms for the identity of a symbol would generate an ordered list with 15 terms, Substituting 4 terms for the identity of a symbol would generate an ordered list with 20 terms, Substituting 5 terms for the identity of a symbol would generate an ordered list with 25 terms, and so forth by drawing upon the different neural circuitry of the brain / CNS and neurologic/physiologic circuits. Such a logical partitioning of grammar appears to mimic to the logical tactic that CSP used in the further development of his conceptualization of semiosis. Of particular interest is the case of adroitly substituting Firstness, Secondness and Thirdness for any three terms. Pragmatically, this could require creating a host of new terms with meanings specified by the contexts within the ordering relationships within the collection of substituted terms. One might think of the above sentences as a generative “speculative grammar” for creating a perplex logic. Have fun! Cheers Jerry
