By way of collecting a short-term pay-off for all the work that we did on the regular representations of the Klein 4-group ''V''<sub>4</sub>, let us write out as quickly as possible in "relative form" a minimal budget of representations for the symmetric group on three letters, Sym(3). After doing the usual bit of compare and contrast among the various representations, we will have enough concrete material beneath our abstract belts to tackle a few of the presently obscur'd details of Peirce's early "Algebra + Logic" papers.

Writing this table in relative form generates
Writing this table in relative form generates the following "natural representation" of ''S''<sub>3</sub>.
the following "natural representation" of S_3.

e = A:A + B:B + C:C
e = A:A + B:B + C:C
j = A:B + B:A + C:C
j = A:B + B:A + C:C

I have without stopping to think about it written out this natural representation of ''S''<sub>3</sub> in the style that comes most naturally to me, to wit, the "right" way, whereby an ordered pair configured as ''X'':''Y'' constitutes the turning of ''X'' into ''Y''. It is possible that the next time we check in with CSP that we will have to adjust our sense of direction, but that will be an easy enough bridge to cross when we come to it.
