Notice that this is not the same thing as being ''semiotically equivalent'', in the sense of belonging to a single ''semiotic equivalence class'' (SEC), falling into the same part of a ''semiotic partition'' (SEP), or having a ''semiotic equation'' (SEQ) between them. It is only when very felicitous conditions obtain, establishing a concord between the denotative and the connotative components of a sign relation, that these two ideas coalesce. | Notice that this is not the same thing as being ''semiotically equivalent'', in the sense of belonging to a single ''semiotic equivalence class'' (SEC), falling into the same part of a ''semiotic partition'' (SEP), or having a ''semiotic equation'' (SEQ) between them.
