Edwina, List: ET: I follow Peirce's outline which puts 3ns as the development of laws ...
There is much more to 3ns than "the development of laws." ET: ... and such laws develop afterwards, as matter develops. Not before. Physical laws *govern *matter and developed from the psychical law (habit) of mind. ET: His own outline of the origin are that first - is 1ns, then 2nd, then 3ns. Indeed, for each actualization of a possibility, 1ns is *temporally *primordial (from the beginning) in the sequence of events. ET: I don't see any reference to a pre-existent [and it would have to be pre-existent] continuum of 3ns. Existence is 2ns, but 3ns is *logically *primordial (basic and fundamental) in the constitution of being. Without a blackboard, there can be no chalk marks. As Gary R. said, you disagree, and nothing we can say here is likely to change your mind.
