I will have to check this out later on, but my impression is that Peirce tended to lean toward the other brand of regular, the ''left representation'' or the ''ante-representation'' of the groups that he treated in his earliest manuscripts and papers.  I believe that this was because he thought of the actions on the pattern of dyadic relative terms like ''aftermath of''.
