All,
Another tactic I tried by way of porting operator variables into
Peirce's logical graphs and Spencer Brown's logical forms was to
hollow out a leg of the latter's crosses, gnomons, or markers,
whatever you wish to call them, as shown below.
Figure 9. Transitional Form (q)_p = {q,(q)}

The initial idea I had in mind was the same as before, that the
operator over q would be counted as absent when p evaluates to
a space and present when p evaluates to a cross.
However, much in the same way operators with a shade of negativity tend
to be more generative than the purely positive brand, it turned out more
useful to reverse the initial polarity of operation, letting the operator
over q be counted as absent when p evaluates to a cross and present when
p evaluates to a space.
So that is the convention I'll adopt from this point on.
Regards,
Jon
