Re: Semiotic Triangle • John Corcoran

Peirce’s triadic sign relations are sets of ordered triples having the form where is the object, is the sign, and is the interpretant sign (usually shortened to interpretant).  In other words, a specific sign relation is a subset of the cartesian product where is the object domain, is the sign domain, and is the interpretant domain.

There is more discussion in the following papers.
