Dear Gary, Auke --
 
Which suggests to me the related notion that the consequences of actions involving objects are sometimes more efficiently determined by thinking them through with signs.  Signs are tools for forcasting the outcomes of events  -- affording all those who have them a great evolutionary advantage over those who do not.

Auke,

Thank you for your interesting comments and  for the quite pertinent Peirce quotation reminding us "that the essential function of a sign is to render inefficient relations efficient."
