Ben, that’s true, you didn't say that the discussion is not directly relevant to Natural Propositions, but I’m saying now, based on my intensive reading of the book which you don’t have, that its relevance is very indirect indeed. In your quotes, Peirce does say that an icon denotes an

As per Sung's request, here's the defining text on Dicisigns, from EP2:275-83. The usual warnings about taking a text out of context apply here too: the reader who hasn't read the whole of selection 20 in EP2, Sundry Logical Conceptions, is unlikely to fully understand this; and the Dicisign

Jon - Nope, I disagree. You are reducing the nature of a Function to a linear path. My point is that F or S (in your triad) is not a step in a path nor is it a cumulative action but is instead a transformative action. The semiosic 'f' is not empty but 'filled' - with generals, with universals

Jon, I agree with you. I think f(x) = y is dyadic, not triadic. It has THREE symbols, f, x and y, but that does not mean that they constitute a TRIADIC relation. Another way of saying the same would be that f(x) = y is not a mathematical category, since it has only one arrow, whereas a

Edwina, My apology, it is not my wish to be unkind. I do not know what you mean by a semiosic triad of relations. I have been talking about triadic relations as Peirce described them from his earliest papers and focusing on the subclass of triadic relations that satisfy his more complete
