Clark, I agree with your points. - But I did not use the word "necessarily". As long as one stays within mathematics, what you write: " While none of these are in the Peircean arena, I think they fit in rather well. (Inquiry as a continual generation of higher metalanguage in terms of semiosis)

The idea of meta-languages presents the way of thinking in levels (characteristic to modern age). Thinking in terms of levels involves jumps. Triadic thinking doen not. It incorpotes the idea of growth. Within triadic thinking one may enlarge or diminish the scope, the perspective. At will, p
