Edwina, ok, but a concept which has been formed by the individual who thinks about it, or by the two people who are talking about this concept, is even more a work in progress, or, as you wrote, anticipatory, like an immediate interpretant. But it is a funny thing, self referentiality, a creative

Helmut - the point to remember about Peircean semiosis is that it is dynamic; it sets up an active process of informational transformation. This is non-linear, so it is an error, I feel, to view Peircean semiosis as a step-by-step action, i.e., a linear movement from Object to Representa
