Understood, and at this point, I doubt that there is much more for either
of us to say without further repeating ourselves anyway.

Jon,
I am preparing slides for a Zoom talk on 2/28. (I'll send the abstract and
link tomorrow.) This is my last note on this thread until 2/29 or later.

Jon,
I admit that I was looking at the printed book, Reasoning and the logic of
things. In that book, the transcription shows a clearly drawn line that
connects the oval to the word 'is'. That is an excellent notation. I admit
that the MS copies below are ambiguous. But the two sentences

JFS: I already answered these points.
I could say the same thing, but I will likewise give it another try.
JFS: Please look at the example in RLT. A line of identity by itself is a
complete, fully formed EG.

JFS: The word 'paper' is the same word that he used in R514 for a paper
with postulates in the margin that govern the graphs inside a red line.
Actually, Peirce *does not* use the word "paper" in the "red pencil"
passage of R 514, he uses the word "sheet." However, this is just a

Please note the phrase "a special understanding between utterer and
interpreter" in the excerpt below. And note that different "papers" of the
phemic sheet may have different special understandings. Although Peirce did
not coin the term 'metalanguage', that is the word that has
