| Coming back now to propositions, we should first remark that just as the
| framing of a term is a process of symbolization so also is the framing
| of a proposition.  No proposition is supposed to leave its terms as it
| finds them.  Some symbol is determined by every proposition.  Hence,
| since symbols are determined by their objects;  and there are three
| objects of symbols, the connotative, denotative, informative;  it
| follows that there will be three kinds of propositions, such as
| alter the denotation, the information, and the connotation of
| their terms respectively.  But when information is determined
| both connotation and information [?] are determined;  hence
| the three kinds will be 1st Such as determine connotation,
| 2nd Such as determine denotation, 3rd Such as determine
| both denotation and connotation.
