Tom,
Having the distinct if not clear sense that we had discussed this or a related
question once or twice before, I went searching through the web and eventually
through my "ZZZ Old Machine ZZZ" files to see if I could find any record of it.
I did find a file dated 6/11/2002 recording a fragment of discussion on what I
guess was the old Peirce List under the heading "Virtues Of Signs". That is a
bit too chatty to relay here, but I also found bits of what looks like a later
discussion that I had copied into my wiki notes on Peirce's information theory:

Regards,
Jon
