A sign relation L ⊆ O × S × I is a structure which can “generate” the temporal sequences of signs making up a semiotic process but there is no necessary temporal order associated with the relational domains O, S, I nor with the roles of objects, signs, and interpretant signs in any triple of the form (o, s, i). As it happens, generative relationships between a generating structure and a generated class of structures are very common throughout mathematics and not unique to semiotics. Regards, Jon
