By means of a simple attribution step a certain level of congruity has been reached in the community of interpretation comprised of <math>\text{A}\!</math> and <math>\text{B}.\!</math> This new-found agreement on what is abstractly a single semiotic equivalence relation means that its equivalence classes reconstruct the structure of the object domain within the parts of the corresponding semiotic partition. This allows a measure of objectivity or inter-subjectivity to be predicated of the sign relation's representation.

An instance of <math>\text{Y}\!</math> using <math>{}^{\backprime\backprime} \text{X} {}^{\prime\prime}\!</math> is considered to be an objective event, the kind of happening to which all suitably placed observers can point, and adverting to an occurrence of <math>{}^{\backprime\backprime} \text{X} {}^{\prime\prime\text{Y}}\!</math> is more specific and less vague than resorting to instances of <math>{}^{\backprime\backprime} \text{X} {}^{\prime\prime}\!</math> as if being issued by anonymous sources. The situated sign <math>{}^{\backprime\backprime} \text{X} {}^{\prime\prime\text{Y}}\!</math> is a ''wider sign'' than <math>{}^{\backprime\backprime} \text{X} {}^{\prime\prime}\!</math> in the sense that it takes in a broader field of view on the interpretive situation and provides more information about the context of use. As to the reception of attributed remarks, the interpreter that can recognize signs of the form <math>{}^{\backprime\backprime} \text{X} {}^{\prime\prime\text{Y}}\!</math> is one that knows what it means to ''consider the source''.

It is best to read the superscripts on attributed signs as accentuations and integral parts of the quotation marks, taking ("..."A) and ("..."B) as variant inflections of ("..."). Thus, I can refer to the sign "X"Y just as I would refer to the sign "X" in the present informal context (PIC), without any additional marks of quotation.
