A semiotic theory of definition

  Second-ness gives continuity to interpretation. 

This is based on my interpretation of Peirce’s categories demonstrated through his Existential Graphs in the order, outside to inside: 2,1,3.

This offers a fruitful perspective on the semantics of the term ‘Lord’: “denotes the head of a household in his relation to servants and dependents who ‘eat his bread’.” O.E.D.

Lord 2nd-ness. Not too catchy, but sound.

N.B.: This is not the good in-itself and wise of Plato’s Timaeus.
