John, Your posts greatly appreciated. But Peirce did write on cyclical arithmetics. With detailed instructions on how demonstrate the rules by experimenting with a pack of cards. Detailed instructions include strict rules on how to achieve a random order with the pack of cards at hand.

John, in my opinion the diagram should contain two cycles. A "habit" cycle and a "something unexpected happens" cyle. The diagram should also address the fact, that the stock of knowledge changes with every turn on the "something unexpected happens" cycle. Maybe it would be even better to

Thanks. That makes sense. I think to popularize Peirce in the best sense is to create a model that has three stages but which is clearly as you say, not a rote affair. The best popular iteration of a general approach that seems to me triadic is "Madam Secretary" whose theme is not merely thinking

John, List, the plot type is a sign type, but is it a sign? Or are only the tokens signs, because only they are perceived? Like a book that is read. And is the book only a sign when it is being read, because only then it is interpreted, and when it is closed, it sort of sleeps and is not a sign?

Isn't the point of considering anything the end? And isn't the end a practical actionable something (expression, act) that contains the initial sign and the index. In which case the sign would already have been predefined by the logical end, though requiring the cogitative process to get there.
