Jeff, List: In your example, *semiosis *does not occur unless and until the Sign *actually *determines an Interpretant. Suppose that a human sees the ripples on the water and thinks, "The wind is blowing from the north." How can an Index (Existent) produce such a thought-Sign (Necessitant) as

Gary R., List: If there is involution among the three Interpretants, it would be in the opposite order from what you suggested--the If involves the Id, which involves the Ii. However, I think of involution as something that proceeds *across *each trichotomy, such that a Necessitant involves an

I have a different view of your example of the wind and the water. I don’t accept that there has to be a human mind to interpret the interaction. Therefore, I consider the interaction to be a semiosic triadic interaction. I consider the wind and the water, as existential entities in dialogue

Helmut, list, Well, there's been a great deal of discussion among semioticians over the years as to what exactly Peirce meant by "determines" in his saying that the object determines the sign which in turn determines the interpretant sign. When I say "discussion" I mean at times downright

Gary, list, "Push-pull" is quite a crude metaphor, ok. But I don´t understand how "placing of constraints or conditions" and "using certain features (...) to generate and shape our understanding" is not causal. Best, Helmut   04. April 2018 um 22:14 Uhr "Gary Richmond"

Helmut, list, Peirce's term "determination" as used in his semeiotics does not concern any causal or generative interaction, certainly no push/pull sort of thing. As the second quotation below puts it: "this determination is not determination in any causal sense." Here *determination* is

List, Trying to make myself a concept of "determination", I am thinking: Is it a part of a dyadic interaction? And, if the three sign parts S,O,I have dyadic interactions, I guess these are results of a projective reduction, which is possible (Jon Awbrey), in contrast to a compositional (real)

Jeff, List: Regarding your first reconstruction (#1-#3), I do not think that Peirce ever deviated from the basic principle that the Object determines the Sign, which determines the Interpretant, such that the Object determines the Interpretant via the mediation of the Sign. The later taxonomies
