Gary F., Jeff, Francesco, List: How would we reconcile this notion that a Sign can *create *its own Object with Peirce's explicit statement elsewhere that (as Francesco noted) a Sign does not even so much as *affect *its own Object? CSP: In its relation to the Object, the Sign is *passive*;

Gary, Thank you for the comments. I will look up digital versions for the Arisbe web. The 3 main journals I found his works on Peirce were *Transactions of CSP Society, American Journal of Semiotics*, and *Semiotische Berichte*. I was unable to find the digital versions today, but I will try to

Jeff, Francesco, list, In the discussion of an officer giving a soldier a command to "Ground Arms", Jeff, I don’t see why you assume that the object created by the sign is the immediate object. I think it is the dynamic object, the same one that determines the Sign — which is of course an

Francesco, List, I am interested in drawing out the implications of Peirce's suggestion that, in some cases, the sign creates the immediate object. He uses the same language of "creation" when he suggests that, in some cases, the sign can create its interpretant. In the discussion of an

Helmut, List The DO is not affected by the sign. If the sign is "Obama is an Englishman", Obama remains an American and is not affected by being represented as an Englishman by the sign. The IO is affected by the sign in this sense, that the sign says what its own DO is, i.e. the sign has a
