My view is that there cannot be a Sign, that triadic existentiality, without a connection, an interaction, a relation...with that which is not-the-Sign. Is this Other an 'Interpreter'? Not in the sense in which we commonly understand the term of 'interpreter', for the cognitive process of

See comments below: 1) JON: Next question--given that IfIdIi, where do the three interpretant relation trichotomies fit? S-Id = Relation of the Sign to the Dynamic Interpretant = Manner of Appeal to the Dynamic Intepretant - Presented/Suggestive, Urged/Imperative, Submitted/Indicative.

Edwina, List: You evidently misunderstood what I was indicating, which is probably my fault for not being clear. I was only listing the six trichotomies that come AFTER the first four, which are Od Oi S (S-Od). Including all ten this time ... (a) Od Oi S (S-Od) If Id Ii (S-If)

A further comment to my comments below. I do not view the possible divisions of the three Interpretants each into three modes as operationally functional. That is, the resultant nine divisions would move the sign into decomposition. Instead, we must consider the modes and where they overlap.

Stan - there doesn't have to be an 'interpretor' - understood as a human agent. But, no semiosic triad, i.e., the Sign, exists 'per se', isolate. The very nature of semiosis is its networked interactions. That is, the semiosic sign, which can be graphed as a three-spoked umbrella (1.347)

Edwina, List: Briefly ... EDWINA: He later changed these to: Descriptive, Denominative and Distributive. The Immediate Object is internal. I note that Peirce did not, in his description of the above terms, refer to them as the 'Immediate Object'. He used only the term 'Objects'. Can the
