In this sense the word the is, strictly speaking, never written; but
what is written conforms to it, or, as we say,
embodies it. In the other sense every a written
word is written once and only once, since every
act of writing makes a new word. Now
when I speak of a graph, I mean the general
type of whatever means the same thing and
expresses that meaning in the same way so far as the
rules conventions of this system are concerned take cognizance of the ways; while
that which is scribed once and only once
and embodies the graph, I call the a
graph-replica. For brevity, however, I
speak of “scribing a graph” just as we
speak of writing the word the. The phrase may be
defended as employing the word “scribe” in a special sense.

I will now put an additional replica upon
the board, or the sheet of assertion

It rains

A pear is ripe

Let us agree to understand that each of those
graphs replicas has the same meaning as if it
