I will stick with term, proposition and argument for general usage. The stretch of meaning to geometric terms with deep importance in mathematics is not, in my view warranted.
I agree. Peirce was very familiar with Cantor's writings and related issues in 19th c. mathematics. His terminology on those topics is precise and directly translatable to and from 21st c. terminology. For logic, his terminology and notation of 1885 has a direct translation to and from (a) his terminology and notation for EGs and (b) 21st c. terminology for logic. JAS
we are discussing all Signs, including Icons and Indices, which are technically excluded from term/proposition/argument; so I will continue to prefer Seme/Pheme/Delome accordingly, as more general.
No. Peirce explicitly said that an icon plus one or more indices can be used to state a proposition. An icon with N-points (pegs) where an index may be attached represents an N-adic relation. Please quote any passage by CSP that seems to imply that the terms Seme/Pheme/Delome cannot be translated to term/proposition/argument, possibly with an extra adjective or other qualifier. John
