Helmut - You asked "What kind of signs are instincts, inherited representamens and immediate objects?"
I'll venture a perspective: In problem-solving (or creative activity), curious instinct is the force behind abduction, representamens summarize inductive insights about objects, and objects contribute to (or comprise) a phenomenon of interest to the thinker. In combination, one could say they explain the supply of and demand for deductive models of reality. (Alternatively, the process of abduction, induction and deduction constitutes the intellectual effort of a curious instinct.) The signs you listed (base instincts, inherited representamens, immediate objects), set the stage for a logical exercises that yield unsurprising conclusions or predictions about the world. Down-home, common-sense logic.
