Grued

 I can take the semantic content of July16, 2024:

“Hegel is the sine qua non of relevant history to our problem. To interpret the most difficult to the easiest semantics would take you through Godel’s theorems. However this is not our subject. The proper object to be observed is (I.O.)“its familiar determinations.”

and change the (I.O.) to (D.O.) and still derive the same conclusion.

I see Kant’s use of Dasein as existence, which has a Spatial quality to it. But exist is not a real predicate for him, foreshadowing the failure of the transcendental deduction. Hegel’s Dasein as the indefinite immediate is likewise problematic in applying an index to it due to the former spatial constraint and now a temporal one. My former signification of it as a I.O. was a hurried attempt to express it, and is meritoriously criticized.  However, the debate over Subject and Object in grammar is mediated by Peirce’s development of the D.O. and I.O., respectively. In fact, he has transitional rules for translating the I.O. to an D.O., and vice versa, which to my knowledge has not been published yet.

To the point: “The hard-ness of a diamond carries its semantics into future instantiations that are met with in experience” does not entail confusing Dasein, or the sign in this case, as an existent. Mediums with less physically verifiable semantics are just as path-worthy when wearing the boots of dynamic object. The sign is still determined by its object, and thereby determines an interpretant, which is why Peirce proclaimed that a Diamond never met with in experience is just as hard as one that is, because this is what we mean when we use language consistently, minus the Grue and fancy poetry.

This last point is what is entailed in placing the three branches of government into an Existential Graph. This is what the language of the law would mean when used consistently.

N.B.: we should not think of human being in terms of a sign. Rather Peirce was fond of saying Man is a Symbol. Perhaps future man will be a symbol minus particular psychologistic notions as time goes on.
