− | There appears to be a problem with the printing of the text at this point. Let us first recall the conventions that I am using in this transcription: `1` for the "antique 1" that Peirce defines as !1!<sub>∞</sub> = "something", and !1! for the "bold 1" that signifies the ordinary 2-identity relation. | + | There appears to be a problem with the printing of the text at this point.

− | CP 3 gives [!1!] = `1`, which I cannot make any sense of. CE 2 gives [!1!] = 1 , which makes sense on the reading of "1" as denoting the natural number 1, and not as the absolute term "1" that denotes the universe of discourse. On this reading, [!1!] is the average number of things related by the identity relation !1! to one individual, and so it makes sense that [!1!] = 1 : '''N''', where '''N''' is the set or the type of the natural numbers {0, 1, 2, …}. | + | CP 3 gives <math>[\mathit{1}] = \mathfrak{1},</math> which I cannot make any sense of.
