Dear Clark and list
My I add a few thoughts? I agree that sign are reals, but when they manifests
as tokens their Secondness must enter the world of physics and thermodynamics
must apply. It is work to make signs emerge in non-verbal communication or as
language from ones feeling and thoughts.
I would agree with Søren, except that I find the grammar a bit odd. I
suppose that their could be signs that are not manifested, but I would
call these possible signs. The possibilities are real, and are most
likely thirds. I don't think that a possible x is an x. So I find it a
bit odd to talk

of sign production.
I am glad to learn this fact about
