Cast at that level of generality, there is nothing to prevent existential graphs from being used to express the special cases of relative terms needed for a theory of triadic sign relations, for example, terms like “s stands to i for o” or “__ stands to __ for __” or any number of other forms, depending on the style one prefers. It may give us pause that we have to use sign relations in order to mention sign relations but the fact is we do that all the time whether we are using Peirce's semiotics or not. Peirce's pragmatic analysis of the process simply provides a clearer account than most other approaches do. Regards, Jon
