If you are talking about “S. is a sign to I. of O.” I would call that a ternary relation: isASignOfTo (S, O, I). (Notice I switched the O and the I.) So the triple ("hello", greeting, Nick) is a triple in the isASignOfTo relation. I don't know that there are standard terms for the individual eleme

It seems we're conflating relations with operators. The sense of "argument" is that of operand, which can be just an input to an operator or just an output, or both an input and an output. The operand is a possibly dynamic thing operated on by the operator. I don't think you want that sense

Nick, one of the computer scientists can answer more definitively, but your use of argument in the passage is inconsistent with the everyday programming usage. Good programs are modularized with specific computational abilities isolated within discrete modules. Frequently, one part of the program r

Hi, all, I am writing a piece for some philosophers - remember I have No training in philosophy - on how to express Peirce's sign relation, which, is roughly, "S. is a sign to I., of O." Somehow, in the last several years, I have been infected by you guys with the word, "arguments". I have f
