Helmut - I’ll only comment on your last sentence. You wrote: > The interpretant (3ns) includes the dynamic interpretant (secondness of > thirdness), the medisense includes association (same, if I got it right, > cannot reach the commens dictionary).
This is incorrect. It is not valid that the Interpretant is in a ‘mode of thirdness’; that the DI is in a mode of 3-2… Take a look at the ten classes of signs [ 2.227—] You will find that the Interpretant can and often is - in a mode of Firstness. Or secondness. It is only ONCE in a mode of Thirdness and that is in a full Argument [ argument symbolic legisign]. Just because it is the third ’nodal site’ in the triadic process does NOT mean that it is, modally, in the mode of Thirdness! Take a look at the other nine classes of signs -!!
