Helmut, I think what you say here is just about right: HR: The truth works as a motive, a quest for it, although it is not yet achieved. People (animals, organisms, molecules?) have a feeling, intuition, instinct, internalised law or axiom, that everything has or would have a true

Robert, is it your intention to argue that communication cannot “succeed” at all unless the interpretant of the sign is completely determinate, and identically so for all communicants? Would you likewise say that knowledge is not actual, or real, unless it is absolute and unquestionable?
