Jack, List: Again, the Y as shown in CP 1.347 is an existential graph (EG) of a triadic relation with its name in the middle and its three correlates denoted by the three lines of identity. If we put the name "representing" or "mediating" in the middle, then the three lines denote the sign, the object, and the interpretant. If we put the name "giving" in the middle, then the three lines denote the giver, the gift, and the recipient.
An EG with only two lines is for a dyadic relation, such as "killing" where the lines denote the killer and the victim. An EG with only one line is for a monadic relation, such as "redness" where the line denotes the item that is red. EGs have no lines only in the Alpha system rather than the Beta system, where the labels stand for complete propositions (medads) rather than relations.
