LOR.  Note 45

Having spent a fair amount of time in earnest reflection on the issue,
I cannot see a way to continue my interpretation of Peirce's 1870 LOR,
to master the distance between his conventions of presentation and my
present personal perspectives on relations, without introducing a few
interpretive anachronisms and other artifacts in the process, and the
only excuse that I can make for myself is that at least these will be
novel sorts of anachronisms and artifacts in comparison with the ones
that the reeder may alreedy have seen.  A poor excuse, but all I have.
The least that I can do, then, and I'm something of an expert on that,
is to exposit my personal interpretive apparatus on a separate thread,
where it will not distract too much from the intellectual canon, that
is to opine, the "thinking panpipe" that we find in Peirce's 1870 LOR.

Ripped from the pages of my dissertation, then, I will lay out
some samples of background material on "Relations In General",
as spied from a combinatorial point of view, that I hope will
serve in reeding Peirce's text, if we draw on it judiciously.
