[Drs.W.T.M. Berendsen]

Is it not the case that even notions of left and right in a triadic Peirce relation require the consideration of a multiple relation of multiple directions? I mean, even if the left and the right are set (like A-----B) and (B------A) in the example below, there are still many more X’s (signs) then the C around the B and the A.   In the example below you got the C. Bur there are other maybe a little bit up or down or left or right or well….also in 3 dimensions….like quantum theory and I believe other theories define as the XYZ dimensions of space. And there are probably more dimensions than only the space one.   Kind regards,   Wilfred   Dear Jerry,    Actually, handedness and materials that polarize light are among the very examples Peirce gives of his notion of Thirdness.   The notions of left verses right (which distinguished between mirror image optical stereo-isomers) Peirce pointa out require the consideration of the triadic relation of three directions (up-down,  front back, left right). It may well be that different carbon groups are involved naturally occuring steroisomers but in fact only three conjoined points are required to achieved the distniction beween left and right.   Triadic  examples of handedness   Left                       Right   A-------B                 B------A           l                   l           l                   l          C                  C   --- Message from peirce-l forum to subscriber archive@mail-archive.com -- No virus found in this incoming message.
