Jon, list,   Yes, objective time is continuous, so everything that takes time should be continuous too. Objective means, that it is a matter of the universe, the complete sign. So maybe discontinuities are not objective, but subjective, e.g. when you are in a conversation, and then the telephone

Helmut, List: It occurred to me today that another way in which the real process of semiosis is continuous is that it always takes time. There is no such thing as an instantaneous sign--uttering any actual sign token requires a finite lapse of time, and interpreting any actual sign token requires
