List: Again, there is much more to Peirce's three universal categories than just the "modes" that trichotomize the sign itself, its dyadic relation to its (dynamical) object, and its dyadic relation to its (final) interpretant in his 1903 taxonomy. Gary is correct that there is a sense in which these divisions themselves correspond to 1ns, 2ns, and 3ns.
