When it comes to the supposed reciprocity between [[extension (logic)|extension]]s and [[intension (logic)|intension]]s, Peirce, of course, has another idea, and I would say a better idea, in part, because it forms the occasion for him to bring in his new-fangled notion of "[[information]]" to mediate the otherwise static dualism between the other two.  The development of this novel idea brings Peirce to enunciate this formula:
