Re: Peirce List • Jerry Chandler
It is above all important to understand that Peirce’s concept of a sign relation is defined at a higher order of abstraction than any notion of causal or temporal order.
A sign relation is a structure which can generate the temporal sequences of signs making up a semiotic process but there is no necessary temporal order associated with the relational domains nor with the roles of objects, signs, and interpretant signs in any triple of the form
As it happens, generative relationships between a generating structure and a generated class of structures are very common throughout mathematics and not unique to semiotics.

If you added an ellipse to enclose o-i, how might you label that relation?
I omitted it for simplicity’s sake in a first approach but there is indeed a projection on the OI plane. For lack of a conventional name I dubbed it the Ennotative Aspect. There is a bit of discussion on the following page.
