According as the number of blanks in a rheme is 0, 1, 2, 3, etc., it may betermed a medad (from {méden}, nothing), monad, dyad, triad, etc., rheme”, Collected Papers,2.272.192 . Collected Papers, 2.251. “A proposition as I use that term, is a dicent symbol. A dicent isnot an assertion, but is a sign capable of being asserted. But an assertion is a dicent. Accordingto my present view (I may see more light in future) the act of assertion is not a pure act ofsignification. It is an exhibition of the fact that one subjects oneself to the penalties visited on aliar if the proposition asserted is not true. An act of judgment is the self-recognition of a belief;and a belief consists in the deliberate acceptance of a proposition as a basis of conduct. But Ithink this position is open to doubt. It is simply a question of which view gives the simplestview of the nature of the proposition. Holding, then, that a Dicent does not assert, I naturallyhold that an Argument need not actually be submitted or urged. I therefore define an argumentas a sign which is represented in its signified interpretant not as a Sign of that interpretant (theconclusion) [for that would be to urge or submit it] but as if it were a Sign of the Interpretant orperhaps as if it were a Sign of the state of the universe to which it refers, in which the premissesare taken for granted. I define a dicent as a sign represented in its signified interpretant as ifit were in a Real Relation to its Object. (Or as being so, if it is asserted)”, Collected Papers,2.337.193 .
