Thus, if a sunflower, in turning towards the sun, becomes by that very act fully capable, without further condition, of
reproducing a sunflower which turns in precisely corresponding ways toward the sun, and of doing so with the same
reproductive power, the sunflower would become a Representamen of the sun.
— C.S. Peirce, Collected Papers, CP 2.274
</QUOTE>
In his picturesque illustration of a sign relation, along with his tracing of a corresponding sign process, or
“semiosis”, Peirce uses the technical term “representamen” for his concept of a sign, but the shorter word is precise
enough, so long as one recognizes its meaning in a particular theory of signs is given by a specific definition of what
it means to be a sign.
