Re: Semiotics, Semiosis, Sign Relations • Comment 1

Definitions tend to call on other terms in need of their own definitions, and so on till the process terminates at the level of primitive terms.  The main two concepts requiring supplementation in Peirce’s definition of a sign relation are the ideas of correspondence and determination.  We can figure out fairly well what Peirce had in mind from things he wrote elsewhere, as I explained in the Sign Relation article I added to Wikipedia 15 years ago.  Not daring to look at what’s left of that, here’s the relevant section from the OEIS Wiki fork.
