John S., List: Just to clarify, the quote attributed to Francesco below is actually something that I wrote in response to him. He seems to be basing his understanding of the Immediate Object on Peirce's writings of 1904-1906 and downplaying what came later, especially when defending his innovative hypothesis that Rhemes do not have Immediate Objects at all. By contrast, my approach is more *systematic*, seeking to take into account anything and everything that Peirce wrote, but ultimately condensing the subject matter into my own framework that remains legitimately *Peircean*.
I am intrigued by the notion of "specifying that framework" in accordance with Peirce's logic, whether the 1885 algebra or the later EGs. However, I remain unsure as to how one would proceed with such a project. For example, how could we use EGs to identify the Immediate Object of a Rheme (if I am right), or somehow demonstrate that it cannot have one (if Francesco is right)?
