Taking this point of view, then, I will consider the Extensions of terms and the Comprehensions of terms, to be ''quantities'', in effect, objective formal elements that are subject to being compared with one another within their respective domains. In particular, I will view them as elements of partially ordered sets. On my reading of Peirce's text, the word ''content'' is still ambiguous from context of use to context of use, but I will simply let that be as it may, hoping that it will suffice to fix the meaning of the more technical term ''comprehension''.
