In pragmatic semiotics the trade‑off between “signs-of-objects” and “signs-as-objects” opens up the wider space of Higher Order Sign Relations. In previous work on Inquiry Driven Systems I introduced the subject in the following way.</p><p>When interpreters reflect on their use of signs they require an appropriate technical language in which to pursue their reflections. They need signs referring to sign relations, signs referring to elements and components of sign relations, and signs referring to properties and classes of sign relations. The orders of signs developing as reflection evolves can be organized under the heading of “higher order signs” and the reflective sign relations involving them can be referred to as “higher order sign relations”.</p><p>References —</p><p>John Corcoran<br />• <a href="https://johncorcoran.academia.edu/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">johncorcoran.academia.edu/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Schemata : The Concept of Schema in the History of Logic<br />• <a href="https://www.academia.edu/12691868/SCHEMATA_THE_CONCEPT_OF_SCHEMA_IN_THE_HISTORY_OF_LOGIC" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">academia.edu/12691868/SCHEMATA</span><span class="invisible">_THE_CONCEPT_OF_SCHEMA_IN_THE_HISTORY_OF_LOGIC</span></a></p><p>Use And Mention, Use Without Mention, Mention Without Use<br />• <a href="https://www.academia.edu/s/ea64a3484e/schemata#comment_525151" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">academia.edu/s/ea64a3484e/sche</span><span class="invisible">mata#comment_525151</span></a></p><p>Resources —</p><p>Higher Order Sign Relations<br />• <a href="https://oeis.org/wiki/Inquiry_Driven_Systems_%E2%80%A2_Part_12#Higher_Order_Sign_Relations" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">oeis.org/wiki/Inquiry_Driven_S</span><span class="invisible">ystems_%E2%80%A2_Part_12#Higher_Order_Sign_Relations</span></a> </p><p>Survey of Inquiry Driven Systems<br />• <a href="https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/02/28/survey-of-inquiry-driven-systems-6/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/02</span><span class="invisible">/28/survey-of-inquiry-driven-systems-6/</span></a></p><p>Survey of Semiotics, Semiosis, Sign Relations<br />• <a href="https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/01/26/survey-of-semiotics-semiosis-sign-relations-5/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/01</span><span class="invisible">/26/survey-of-semiotics-semiosis-sign-relations-5/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Peirce" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Peirce</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Inquiry" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Inquiry</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Logic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Logic</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mathematics</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Reflection" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Reflection</span></a> <br /><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Semiotics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Semiotics</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SignRelations" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SignRelations</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/HigherOrderSignRelations" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HigherOrderSignRelations</span></a> <br /><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/InquiryDrivenSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>InquiryDrivenSystems</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ReflectiveInterpretiveFrameworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ReflectiveInterpretiveFrameworks</span></a> <br /><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Arithmetization" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Arithmetization</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/G%C3%B6delNumbers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GödelNumbers</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Quotation</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/UseAndMention" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UseAndMention</span></a></p>
