}Robert- thanks for the lesson - which is still beyond me...but I'm
getting closer to figuring out the game...
I'd like an example - showing how the two Dicent Symbols, in this
case, two poisons, so to speak, nicotine and the corona virus can
semiosically transform from two similar and yet separate identities,
so to speak [lethal to the human] such that the one removes the other
- thus 'saving' the human.
I'd prefer an example among the plant/insect realm, ie, without
relying on the brain - but...
At any rate, if we start with a general set of two classes, which
have been learned and stored in the brain: an Argument [that poisons
exist]; and the Rhematic Symbol [that poisons are material
entities]...and move into the Dicent Symbol, where we have two minor
premises of particular poisons: nicotine and the virus.....
Then - how does semiosis function to move this basic Set....to a
different interpretation that 'the one removes the other'. For this -
the 'brain' would have to be receiving lots of Iconic Sinsigns...where
the two poisons co-exist as a dyad and then, ..more Iconic
Sinsigns...such that one of the two seems to disappear from the dyad.
Then...does the astute observer move into an Iconic Legisign - where
they move into an abstract awareness that 'something is going on'..and
then.. individual interpretation of this phenomena - into a Rhematic
Indexical Legisign? Then..lots of data gathering, very mechanical
[Dicent Sinsign]...and then, to the NEW Dicent Symbol, where nicotine
is understood as lethal to the virus.
Hmm.

List,This study shows how nicotine, charged with a very negative
image to the point of being considered a lethal poison (dicent
symbol) can be competed in the collective consciousness (the commens)
by the rise in the lattice of classes of signs of an image by rational
and non-rational (magic thinking) ways . The latter, which never
encounters the contexts of verification, is always guaranteed to
create an ambivalent image that poses a public health problem.
Hydroxychloroquine has shown how easily non-rational paths are used
in some countries to serve political causes.
To help you a lesson with 4 exercises : Build the lattice of the 10
classes of signs in one lesson

hoping it will be useful to you
Best regards,Robert

"This study is the third moment in a scientific approach of
"knowledge by models" that perfectly suits Peirce's designs in this
field. Indeed, Peirce classifies science in the following way (see
C.S. Peirce, 1976: NEM, vol. IV, 1122]:
- mathematics, the study of ideal constructions without reference
to their real existence,
Here are my constructions: I consider two abstract categories
X àYàZ on the one hand
A1 àA2 àA3 …… àAn on the other hand (with all axioms checked
for the composition of the arrows)
It is found that there are exactly (n + 2)*(n +1)/2 covariant
functors from the first to the second categories and that, moreover,
this set of functors is naturally organized in a lattice structure by
the natural transformations of functors that we know how to define on
this set.
This part can be controlled by a mathematician no semiotician.
A computer tool can do that very well : see
patrick-benazet.chez-alice.fr/treillis_en_ligne/lattices [3]
This lattices are compounds mathematical objects, not very complex
if n not too large ... Indeed for n = 3 there are 10 functors, 28 for
n = 10, 66 for n = 10 ...
-empirics, the study of phenomena with the purpose of identifying
their forms with those mathematics has studied,
Peirce is proposing after years of studying the functioning of:
- phenomena (phanerons) in human minds that he reduces to 3
major categories (corroborated by a reduction theorem: Herzberger,
Burch, Marty), between which he recognizes relationships of
involution
- and also signs in social life, starting with three-item
signs that he calls Object, Sign and Interpretant, and that he
classifies them into ten classes, and then when the sign expands to
six elements with 28 classes, ...
- and even that it highlights affinities between the triadic
signs that direct attention to relationships between classes of signs
by triplets between these elements
This justifies that the forms I have built are suitable to fulfil
this condition.
This part can be controlled by a semiotician no mathematician.
The third Peirce's classes is:
- Pragmatics, the study of how we ought to behave in the ligth of
the truths of empirics."
This is what is proposed in the following analysis. It follows
Peirce's recommendations but is fallible and asks to be criticized."
Be waiting and best regards,
Robert Marty
