The Commens Dictionary

Quote from ‘Definitions for Baldwin's Dictionary [R]’

Quote: 

A representamen, or sign, is anything (not necessarily real) which stands at once in a relation of correspondence to a second third, its object, and to another possible representamen, its interpretant, which it determines to correspondence with the same object. It thus involves the idea of a possible endless series.

Date: 
1901-1902 [c.]
References: 
MS [R] 1147
Editorial Annotations: 

It is unclear whether the clarification in parenthesis should be placed after "anything" or "second third"
