A ''sort'' of signs is more formally known as an ''equivalence class'' (EC).  There are in general many sorts of sorts of signs that we might wish to consider in this inquiry, but let's begin with the sort of signs all of whose members denote the same object as their referent, a sort of signs to be henceforth referred to as a ''referential equivalence class'' (REC).

Toward the outset of this excursion, I mentioned the distinction between a ''pointwise-restricted iconic map'' or a ''pointedly rigid iconic map'' (PRIM) and a ''system-wide iconic map'' (SWIM).  The time has come to make use of that mention.
