Kirsti,

There is another point that I ought to remark
about your application of the categories here:

KM: Symbols as symbols  involve firstness (in thirdness), as well
    as secondness (in thirdness), that is:  symbols involve qualities
    (firstness), and habits or disposition, or other effective general
    rule of interpretation (secondness).  The qualities involved in the
    symbol, then, are of three qualitative varieties, one of them imputed
    qualities.

A general rule of interpretation is not of necessity 2-adic.
It involves the "recognition", in either the descriptive or
normative senses of the word, of a constraint or a relation
among any number of relational domains, where of course the
structure of constraint among three domains constitutes the
critical keystone, the generative case for every other type.

Time on list is very intermittent today ...

Jon Awbrey
