In the 1870’s or early eighties, CSP referred to the ammonia molecule as a
symbol.
More precisely, pictorially, he demonstrated the three bonds between the three

After sending my previous note, I thought of more examples for representing
sign relations in EGs -- including EGs that link together whatever graphs are
necessary to express anything.
I want to emphasize that I was inspired by some of Peirce's writings, but some

Cécile,
After reading this thread, I found a quotation by Peirce that shows how to draw
an existential graph that follows Peirce's words quite closely. It's also
consistent with the quotation by Noeth: "Peirce did consider the sign to be a
triadic relation, but only in 1868. However, from
