  You are right: It is random, i.e. meaningless. I had not focused on "meaning", but on "representation" (thirdness): I thought it was representation, because there is both an immediate and a dynamical object. But, as there is no meaning transmitted, it is nor real thirdness neither real

Randomness can hardly be meaningless if it also implies chance which for Peirce mean First. I suppose I am missing something. Usually do. "... chance ... a mathematical term to express with accuracy the characteristics of freedom or spontaneity." Peirce: CP 6.202 Books http://buff.ly/15GfdqU

Helmut, List ~ "A photon hits an atom: The photon and the atom (tokens) are the immediate object, the hitting event is the representamen, the effect (electron jumps to a higher orbit) is the interpretant ..." Why did the photon hit the atom? The collision ('hitting event') is the

      Sung, List, And is a physical interaction a triadic Sign? Eg: A photon hits an atom: The photon and the atom (tokens) are the immediate object, the hitting event is the representamen, the effect (electron jumps to a higher orbit) is the interpretant, and the types "photon" and "atom"
