        I'm not sure about this; don't the models [and graphs are, after
all, models], have to show and explain Peircean semiosis - which is
triadic?

        After all, semiosis is all about Mind-as-Matter, and the three
categories in both their genuine and degenerate modes are vital to
this process. So, don't the logical models have to show, for example,
the mediation provided by Thirdness - and this includes all three
modes of Thirdness [3-3, 3-2, 3-1] -  as well as show the border
fuzziness of a mode such as 2-1?

        Edwina,

        I agree with the points you made, but they could be stated in
classical first-order logic.  Peirce's EGs, for example, are a
version of two-valued logic {T, F} with no middle term., 

        A typical example of three-valued logic would have values such as
{True, Unknown, False}.  A five-valued logic might have values like
{certainly true, true by default, unknown, false by default,
certainly false}.

        This issue is orthogonal to the issues about 1ns, 2ns, 3ns. 
Peirce's EGs are very well suited to representing those categories.

        John
