Peirce employs the terms "equiparants" and "disquiparants," which are drawn from the medieval tradition in logical theory, in a particularly interesting way on this page. He explains that there are different kinds of disquiparants, and that effect there correlates in different ways. It will be worth making a comparison to the explanations he gives in the Lowell lectures of 1866.
