More Stacked Images in quest of Peirce's semeiotic

Continuing a highly experimental  guessing at three elaborations of Charles Sanders Peirce's semeiotic AKA logic AKA the truth derived from signs 
Top First Speculative Grammar (the study and organization of signs)
Second Critical Logic (examination of signs in terms of truth or veracity)
Third Speculative Rhetoric (Method, Methodeutic) (the communication of findings rising from  the application of logic to selected signs)
 +
The images suggest to me 1.  a sense of the place from whence all signs arise 2. the collision between signs and critical analysis  and 3. a hypothetical notion of how the results might be organized along with any applications rising from the process

Charles Sanders Peirce: Logic=Semiotic [Quote]

CP 2.227 (c. 1897):

"Logic, in its general sense, is, as I believe I have shown, only another name for semiotic (σημειωτικη), the quasi-necessary, or formal, doctrine of signs. By describing the doctrine as ‘quasi-necessary,’ or formal, I mean that we observe the characters of such signs as we know, and from such an observation, by a process which I will not object to naming Abstraction, we are led to statements, eminently fallible, and therefore in one sense by no means necessary, as to what must be the characters of all signs used by a ‘scientific’ intelligence, that is to say, by an intelligence capable of learning by experience. As to that process of abstraction, it is itself a sort of observation. The faculty which I call abstractive observation is one which ordinary people perfectly recognize, but for which the theories of philosophers sometimes hardly leave room. It is a familiar experience to every human being to wish for something quite beyond his present means, and to follow that wish by the question, ‘Should I wish for that thing just the same, if I had ample means to gratify it?’ To answer that question, he searches his heart, and in doing so makes what I term an abstractive observation. He makes in his imagination a sort of skeleton diagram, or outline sketch, of himself, considers what modifications the hypothetical state of things would require to be made in that picture, and then examines it, that is, observes what he has imagined, to see whether the same ardent desire is there to be discerned. By such a process, which is at bottom very much like mathematical reasoning, we can reach conclusions as to what would be true of signs in all cases, so long as the intelligence using them was scientific. The modes of thought of a God, who should possess an intuitive omniscience superseding reason, are put out of the question. Now the whole process of development among the community of students of those formulations by abstractive observation and reasoning of the truths which must hold good of all signs used by a scientific intelligence is an observational science, like any other positive science, notwithstanding its strong contrast to all the special sciences which arises from its aiming to find out what must be and not merely what is in the actual world."

Charles Sanders Peirce - Thinking in Threes

The Working of Peirce's Threes

Oddly enough it was Brent, whose biography of Peirce I am not in love with because it is, in a word, binary, who explained to my initial satisfaction the working of Threes which I must assume to be the basic structure of semiosis or semiotics at least for Peirce. To condense, the First as excitation the Second as Blunt Truth and the Third as experimental hypothesis or theory of how one might practically move forward beyond One and Two. I thought I have actually been operating and thinking this way in my own life and that I got into trouble mainly when I reverted to the binary. I thought that most of the back and forth in Congress resulted from being caught in the binary. I thought Obama is a Peircean either consciously or not.

With this sentence I quibble a bit

Peirce: selections and summaries:

"Peirce's work is very systematic and does not lend itself to being quoted out of context."

That Peirce has a system is clear. That statements of Peirce can do what they do standing alone is obviously true as well. I would rather have them do thus than not, It might be Peircean to say that thinking in signs no statement is what it becomes in itself. And never is. Time is always in motion.
