There’s more to following a rule than meets the mind

Summary/Abstract: Our goalie briefly rejoins us, this time provoking further meditation on Polanyi’s focal and subsidiary awareness. Time, or timespace, both static and processual, also enter the scene in regard to homogeny, hierogeny and heterogeny, Both-And, Either/Or and Neither-Nor aspects of the semiosic process, and the notions of overdetermination and underdetermination. This calls for further specification of the nature of the triadic sign, the categories, basic sign types, and the concept of signs developing into other signs as their makers and takers become increasingly aware of them and more adept at articulating them. Interdependency, interrelatedness and interaction of complementary coalescent sign processes serve more adequately to illustrate the co-participatory nature of all signs, ourselves included, especially in view of the successively complexifying character of radically heterogenous signs within contemporary globalizing cultures, all exemplified through sign fusion – or portmanteauing, rhetorically speaking.
