Janos: I don't agree that the triad requires the representamen to be always 'interpreted as a quality', i.e., in the mode of Firstness. If you take a look at the ten classes of signs (2.256 as outlined in 1903), you will see that in only one of these ten classes is the Representamen in a mode of Firstness. It is in a mode of Secondness in three, and in a mode of Thirdness in six classes.

Subject: [PEIRCE-L] A question about the triadic relation of Sign


Lists,

I have a question about triadic relation of Sign.  If I correctly
understand this concept, the generation of an irreducible triadic
relation of representamen, object and interpretant, requires the
representamen to be interpreted as a quality. The arising triadic
relation must be a (novel) quality as well. This brings me to my
question: How is the concept of a Sign (and so thirdness) different from
the concept of a qualitative change?

Best regards,
Janos Sarbo
