I only wanted to say what I always say when disputes about the nature of relations, triadic relations, and sign relations arise — that the best way for readers of Peirce to get clear about the nature of relations is to begin where Peirce began, with his 1870 Logic of Relatives. It is especially important for people interested in empirical applications of Peirce's semiotic to acquire fluency with the extensional definition of triadic relations as sets of triples. Classifications are important in any science, but it is critical to be classifying subject matter at the right level of structure. As it happens, I am planning to continue with the close reading of Peirce's 1870 Logic of Relatives that I was serializing on my blog, and I'm thinking it would be good to begin by refreshing my memory of what has gone before.
