suggestions to be useful. They certainly ought
not to be neglected.

Let us apply this rule to dyadic and triadic
relations. The effect of it as regards dyadic
relations is simply that we shall find a
succession. The dichotomies of secondness often present a
curious phenomenon. Namely while the two fold
division is very evident, yet owing to the external
part being itself bisected, there is in effect a division into three
classes, although it is perfectly evident that this is
due to two dichotomies and then there is a cross division
of the same kind producing nine classes. But the
smallest attention to the character of these divisions
will convince anybody of their dichotomic origin
and the result is that we shall simply
find a succession of grades with one terminal
dichotomy between the graded parts and the undivided residuum.
