The three sign typologies depend respectively on ( I ) the sign itself, ( II ) how the sign stands for its denoted object, and ( III ) how the signs stands for its object to its interpretant.
32.
This is the typology of the sign as distinguished by the phenomenological category which the sign's interpretant attributes to the sign's way of denoting the object ( set forth in 1902, 1903, etc . ):

Earthscore approaches knowledge as a process of generating signs, and incorporates the semiotic system of Charles Sanders Peirce consistent with the trikonic categories : A sign ( firstness ) representing an object ( secondness ) for an interpretant ( thirdness ).
34.
They refer to Peirce's triadic model of semiosis, which depicts the " action " of a sign as a limitless process of infinite semiosis, where one " interpretant " ( or idea linked to a sign ) generates another.
35.
In semiosis, every sign is an interpretant in a chain stretching both fore and aft . The relation of informational or logical determination which constrains object, sign, and interpretant is more general than the special cases of causal or physical determination.

37.
In Peirce's theory of signs, a " sign " is something that stands in a well-defined kind of relation to two other things, its " object " and its " interpretant sign ".
38.
While the Saussurean semiotic is dyadic ( sign / syntax, signal / semantics ), the Peircean semiotic is triadic ( sign, object, interpretant ), being conceived as philosophical logic studied in terms of signs that are not always linguistic or artificial.
39.
If an interpretant is considered to be a sign in its own right, then its independent reference to an object can be taken as belonging to another moment of denotation, but this neglects the mediational character of the whole transaction in which this occurs.
40.
It is through one's collateral experience that the object determines the sign to determine an interpretant . " Thirdness " is representation or mediation, the category associated with signs, generality, rule, continuity, habit-taking, and purpose.
