John I have complete respect for the processes by which Peirce is understood. I have from the start been fixed on suggesting but one (hardly authoritative) use of things he has said to fashion my own eclectic, holistic, universal and I believe relevant ideas regarding how things are actually evolving. I recognize that this is not what this list is about and I have transgressed many times out of enthusiasm and exuberance or pique and ill humor, Henceforth I will try to confine this to topics explicitly given a subject line Triadic Philosophy. .
