For the words I have this quotation that I had placed on the front page of my book (L'algèbre des signes, 1990) and which says almost the same thing but in the field of language using the "quasi-morphism": notes --> words ; melody --> speech, music score --->algebra "All speech is but such an algebra, the repeated signs being the words, which have relations by virtue of the meanings associated with the them " (CP 3.418) The best, Robert Honorary Professor ; PhD Mathematics ; PhD Philosophy fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Marty *https://martyrobert.academia.edu/ <https://martyrobert.academia.edu/>*
