Auke, List:
Again, I have no desire to revisit previous on-List debates about Peirce's
views concerning the reality of God and their relation to his semeiotic.
However, you posed a couple of specific questions to me that I am happy to
address, especially with respect to the new subject line.
AvB:
I have always maintained that the lattice of the 10 classes of signs is
the algebraic realization of the affinities between classes of signs as
Peirce describes them from CP 2.254 to CP 2.264. In "The trichotomic
machine" ("The trichotomic machine," Semiotica, vol. 2019, No. 228, May
2019, p. 173
I think the first issue is - that you don't need a brain or

}John - I agree - most of us don't want to rehash our earlier
arguments about these topics but I don't want to clarify.
I don't think that it's Peirce's work that is controversial, with
some of us preferring to wor
As a Christian missionary for 30 years and a Christian pastor for about the
same amount of time, one who is now a happy atheist, I consider Peirce’s
religious views (“controversial” or not) to be essential to understanding him
as a person, scientist, and philosopher. While I may very well disag

Since it proves a recurrent theme, I suggest we ought to try to find out what
exactly is the meaning you attribute to the concept of God.
You wrote:
God as the real and independent object that determines the entire universe as a
sign.
