I will continue with my commentary on CP 3.73, developing the Othello example as a way of illustrating its concepts.

the Othello example as a way of illustrating its concepts.

In the development of the story so far, we have a universe of discourse

In the development of the story so far, we have a universe of discourse that can be characterized by means of the following system of equations:

that can be characterized by means of the following system of equations:

1  =  B +, C +, D +, E +, I +, J +, O

: 1  =  B +, C +, D +, E +, I +, J +, O

b  =  O

: b  =  O

m  =  C +, I +, J +, O

: m  =  C +, I +, J +, O

w  =  B +, D +, E

: w  =  B +, D +, E

This much provides a basis for collection of absolute terms that I plan to use in this example.  Let us now consider how we might represent a sufficiently exemplary collection of relative terms.

I plan to use in this example.  Let us now consider how we might

represent a sufficiently exemplary collection of relative terms.

If we consider the genesis of relative terms, for example, "lover of ---",

If we consider the genesis of relative terms, for example, "lover of ---", "betrayer to --- of ---", or "winner over of --- to --- from ---", we may regard these fill-in-the-blank forms as being derived by way of a kind of "rhematic abstraction" from the corresponding instances of absolute terms.

"betrayer to --- of ---", or "winner over of --- to --- from ---", we may

regard these fill-in-the-blank forms as being derived by way of a kind of

"rhematic abstraction" from the corresponding instances of absolute terms.

In other words:

In other words:

1.  The relative term "lover of ---" can be constructed by abstracting

# The relative term "lover of ---" can be constructed by abstracting the absolute term "Emilia" from the absolute term "lover of Emilia". Since Iago is a lover of Emilia, the relate-correlate pair denoted by "Iago:Emilia" is a summand of the relative term "lover of ---".

    the absolute term "Emilia" from the absolute term "lover of Emilia".

# The relative term "betrayer to --- of ---" can be constructed by abstracting the absolute terms "Othello" and "Desdemona" from the absolute term "betrayer to Othello of Desdemona". In as much as Iago is a betrayer to Othello of Desdemona, the relate-correlate-correlate triple denoted by "I:O:D" belongs to the relative term "betrayer to --- of ---".

    Since Iago is a lover of Emilia, the relate-correlate pair denoted

# The relative term "winner over of --- to --- from ---" can be constructed by abstracting the absolute terms "Othello", "Iago", and "Cassio" from the absolute term "winner over of Othello to Iago from Cassio".  Since Iago is a winner over of Othello to Iago from Cassio, the elementary relative term "I:O:I:C" belongs to the relative term "winner over of --- to --- from ---".

    by "Iago:Emilia" is a summand of the relative term "lover of ---".

 

2.  The relative term "betrayer to --- of ---" can be constructed

    by abstracting the absolute terms "Othello" and "Desdemona"

    from the absolute term "betrayer to Othello of Desdemona".

    In as much as Iago is a betrayer to Othello of Desdemona,

    the relate-correlate-correlate triple denoted by "I:O:D"

    belongs to the relative term "betrayer to --- of ---".

 

3.  The relative term "winner over of --- to --- from ---" can be constructed

    by abstracting the absolute terms "Othello", "Iago", and "Cassio" from the

    absolute term "winner over of Othello to Iago from Cassio".  Since Iago is

    a winner over of Othello to Iago from Cassio, the elementary relative term

    "I:O:I:C" belongs to the relative term "winner over of --- to --- from ---".
