Edwina, list,

That is a debated issue. Bergman did summarize the main positions: Fitzgerald, 
Short and Zeman.

In my opinion the logical interpretant of the emotional, energetic, logical 
sequence is a placeholder for the other triplet. Van Driel was the first to 
write this, but without argumentation and alas in a Dutch language 
dissertation. The energetic in my opinion must also be looked at as a 
placeholder for the icon (mental interpretant) and sinsign (the here and now of 
the icon) aspect respectively.  i didn't however find direct evidence for this.
