− | ERs of sign relations describe them as sets (<math>S\!</math>'s) of triples (<math>T\!</math>'s) of underlying elements (<math>U\!</math>'s). This makes for three levels of objective structure that must be put in coordination with each other, a task that is projected to be carried out in the appropriate OF of sign relations. Corresponding to this aspect of structure in the OF, there is a parallel aspect of structure in the IF of sign relations. Namely, the accessory sign relations that are used to discuss a targeted sign relation need to have signs for sets (<math>\underline{S}S\!</math>'s), signs for triples (<math>\underline{S}T\!</math>'s), and signs for the underlying elements (<math>\underline{S}U\!</math>'s). This accounts for three levels of syntactic structure in the IF of sign relations that must be coordinated with each other and also with the targeted levels of objective structure. | + | ERs of sign relations describe them as sets (<math>S\!</math>s) of triples (<math>T\!</math>s) of underlying elements (<math>U\!</math>s).
