Clark, list, you wrote: " If you have the form but not the matter then it’s degenerate.". Thank you: This way eventually, after a long time,  I think I understand why it is called degenerate. Maybe it is like this: "matter" may be understood for "reason", like in the question "Whats the matter?",

Hi, I feel a need to point out that "sinsign, index and dicisign" presents a trichotomy of signs. Not a triad, but a tree-part division, a classification, if you wish. All triads and triadicity involve mediation. Triadicity also involves meaning, not just signs. Kirsti Jerry LR Chandler

Jerry, CSP did use divisions into three, so trichotomies do belong to his philosophy. Only in his latest phase he devoted himself to developing triadicity as his key concept in his theory of the Categories. So, trichotomies of signs, such as icon, index, symbol etc. are OK. But only for the
