BM: What is deduced from this arrangement is not the world of phenomena itself but
     a logical sign architecture, the purpose of which is to be used as some kind of
     benchmark.  It remains to examine the extent to which such an architecture can fit
     into the world of  phenomena and I think that it is this latter step that is probably
     concerned by Kaina Stoicheia.

Bernard,

I think that is an excellent way of stating the relationship
between phenomenology, the scoping of what appears in experience,
and mathematics, the foreshadowing of possible forms of existence.
But I'm not sure that Peirce's complex of neo-euclidean or
post-euclidean projects have much to say about the former.

Looking back to what I wrote about Kaina Stoicheia in our discussions from 2005,
before Joe got the idea of doing a slow read, I think I said what I have to say
on that score about as well as I might, so aside from refining those previously
panned nuggets my main prospect of finding new insights into Peirce's "Elemental"
project is likely to be the mother lode of other manuscripts in that vein.

Regards,

Jon
