| Definition
|
| Logic is objective symbolistic.
|
| Symbolistic is the semiotic of symbols.
|
| Objective symbolistic is that branch of
| symbolistic which considers relations
| to objects.
|
| Semiotic is the science of representations.
|
| Representation is anything which is or is represented
| to stand for another and by which that other may be
| stood for by something which may stand for the
| representation.
|
| Thing is that for which a representation stands
| prescinded from all that can serve to establish
| a relation with any possible relation.
|
| Form is that respect in which a representation stands for a thing
| prescinded from all that can serve as the basis of a representation
| and therefore from its connection with the thing.
|
| Thus Science is divided into
|
|    1  Positive Science.  Or the science of things.
|
|    2  Semiotic.  Or the science of representations.
|
|    3  Formal Science.  Or the science of forms.
