Jeff, List: Again, my definition is intended as a summary based on Peirce's various descriptions of the immediate interpretant in his different writings. That said, I believe that it is compatible with the particular one that you quoted (CP 8.315, EP 2:500, 1909 Apr 1). The immediate

John, Thanks for this info. I came to this conclusion by analyzing the 8th signtype (rhematic, symbolic, legisign) from the point of view of KiF. ()= involvement. The outer brackets signify that the process is not yet finished. It just are fragments of what is involved in the proces: sheet,

Auke, list - Right - I was merely suggesting, exactly, that this is a long debated issue. Therefore, the argument is whether these terms are just synonyms [which seems to be The Rejected Argument] vs whether they are placeholders. And as you note - expanded placeholders.
