If we take any proposition, say
A sinner kills a saint
and if we erase portions of it, so as to leave
it a blank form of proposition, the blanks
being such that if every one of them is filled with a
proper name, a proposition will result,
such as
______ kills a saint
A sinner kills ______
______ kills ______
where Cain and Abel might for example
fill the blanks, than such a blank form,
as well as the complete proposition, is called
a rheme provided it be neither logical necessity true of everything nor true of nothing, but this limitation may be disregarded. If it has one blank it is called
a monad rheme, if two a dyad, if three
a triad, if none a medad (from μηδέν).
Now such a rheme being neither logically necessary nor logically impossible,
as a part of [??] a graph without being
represented as a combination by any of the
signs of the system is called a lexis
and each replica of the lexis is called a spot.
[A lexis is therefore an incomplex contingent graph. ??] | 2822
