John, List I must point out that I used the Categories Theory to model Peirce's semiotics as early as 1977 in French, 1982 in English. I have not stopped publishing on this theoretical basis. On my Academia.edu website, you will find my most recent works and notably the last one in which I take a strong position in favor of a Category-Theoretic Structuralism (see robert marty (academia.edu) <https://martyrobert.academia.edu/research#drafts>. In addition, it turns out that the authors evoke "the fascinating typological puzzle" (2.2, p.33) that I assembled in a lattice a long time ago.
I think that their bibliographical research did not lead you to retain my work by citing it in your book. However, Robert Burch references it in the article "Charles Sanders Peirce" of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, which everyone knows is an authority. This omission, probably due to a lack of vigilance on their part, obliges me to clarify the anteriority of my works on Peirce's semiotics. In a previous contact of February 2021, the authors had kindly sent me their book. I had gone through it quickly and put it aside because I was busy with other work. This is to say that nothing is conflicting about my intervention; it is just necessary information in scientific matters.
