Gary F., Lists,
I would add the following to what Gary F. says.
The names for the three-fold divisions between rheme, dicisign, and argument,
and between qualisign, sinsign and legisign are developed in the last decade of
his career, but Peirce is explicitly working within a tradition in logic
Gary F, Lists,
I agree with you that the passage you quoted from MS 318 is instructive as
involving the idea of an "inner world"--precursor of the *Innenwelt* of von
Uexkull--in the definition of consciousness.
Equally important, and perhaps especially for biosemiotics, where questions

One comment for the benefit of those just coming to grips with the three

1) The nine terms (eg, icon, index, symbol; qualisign, sinsign, legisign;
rheme, dicent, argument) refer to the nine possible RELATIONS that the three
'nodes' of the semiosic triad have. Peirce discusses these all through his
work. The Relations are defined by two factors: their categori

There is no " violation of his own selection rule" in Peirce's definition of
the Dicisign.
Both the ten-sign triangle (EP2:296) and what Jerry calls the "triadic

Yes. It is, but sinsign is not the only kinds of signs. As you know,
there are in addition the qualisign and the legisign, and each is
irreversibly triadic being associated with i
