| Representation implies first an 'object' represented;
| Second a mind or rather abstracting from the personal
| element, a representation (itself or other) to which
| it addresses itself.  I call this the 'subject'.
| Third a 'Ground' or Reason which determines it
| to represent that object to that subject.
| We have nothing else implied in the
| representation as representation.
| Hence representation has three
| marks only namely --
|
|    1.  Reference to an Object
|    2.  Reference to a Ground
|    3.  Reference to a Subject.
