Avril, (01)
I don't think gravity is an example of the kind of thirdness that Peirce
indicated because gravity doesn't get a sign and make an interpretant
associate with it. This is just a gravitational function of two variables,
g(A,B) where A and B are the two objects gravitating. (02)
But even functions with three parameters aren't necessarily the
implementation of that thirdness concept which requires an interpreter. (03)
JMHO,

Dear all, (07)
now that you talk again about triads, I want to ask that does anybody
have objections to the following use of Peirce's triads. (08)
-Masses of planets A and B are both individual firstnesses. (09)
-The gravitational force that acts between between A and B is an
individual secondness. (010)
-The law of gravitation is thirdness. Thirdness can be called
universal, because it can be found everywhere, at least on the scale
of compact stellar objects. (011)
I think that this is a good example of how Peirce's triads can be
applied. Any objections? (012)
