Dear list,
Just now I was thinking about some passages of
Peirce. About some small sentences which for me appeared to be quite important
somehow. For me they are now, whatever the answers to my questions I have to
ask here now. The questions relate to the term diagrammatic of C.S.
Ben, Jim and list,
My understanding of the problem opened by Peirce's use of subindices or
hyposemes seems to be quite different from your's. So I try to give my
idea of it below, being accepted that I think this not to be secondary
problem in Peirce's sign theory because he also used the same

kinds of relations he defines there, namely, those that I recall him
distinguishing for one purpose or another for philosophical purposes:

Dear Folks,
Some thoughts on this issue and interesting discussion:
Something, it seems to me, performs an indexical function in so far as it
serves to point to the spatial temporal location of something other than
itself. That which
displays a form is an icon. So, a name, as for example

Joseph,I had missed the last part of your message, below, which seems to show a slight confusion about hortatory definitions (I don't think there can be such a thing as a hortatory meaning), probably stemming from my own post. The idea is quite simple and pretty close to "wishful thinking". When

I got too excited, I'm not at all sure that "subindex" can be
equated with "degenerate index."

A general term has a "range" or "domain." A quantifier has a "scope." Peirce following DeMorgan called the domain a "universe of discourse." The variables x,y are general terms; as is the predicate letter J. (My post right before this raises a lot of questions about that predicate letter.)
