RS:
The pragmatic theory of truth seems to be a correspondence theory in which all the elements (objects, properties, relations, signs, correspondence, reality, etc) are qualified or defined in accordance with the pragmatic maxim.  Is that a fair summary?

Dear Richard,

In Peirce’s logic as normative semiotics everything swims in a medium of triadic sign relations.  One can say a triadic sign relation involves a “triple correspondence” among objects, signs, and their interpretant signs, if one likes, and Peirce occasionally expresses it that way, but the all‑important difference lies in the fact that triadic relations cannot be reduced to any congeries or compound of dyadic relations.
