0384 In the fourth step, an interventional sign-relation<\/em> fails to initiate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall, the structure of the interventional sign-relation<\/em> is counterintuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0385 How does a sign-relation operate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sign-vehicle (SV) stands for a sign-object (SO) in regards to a sign-interpretant (SI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0386 One cannot use only one category-based nested form to depict a sign-relation.  Two adjacent levels are required.  So, sign-causality involves a SV on one level<\/em> and a SO on the adjacent higher level<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0387 For example, the specifying sign-vehicle (SVs<\/sub>) is a content-level actuality and its sign-object is a situation-level actuality (SOs<\/sub>).  The content-level associates to firstness.  The situation-level associates to secondness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, the exemplar sign-vehicle (SVe<\/sub>) is a situationb<\/sub>-level actuality and its sign-object (SOe<\/sub>) is a perspectivec<\/sub>-level actuality2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, the interventional sign-vehicle (SVi<\/sub>) belongs to the perspectivec<\/sub> level.  There is no “fourthness”.  There is only firstness to return to.  That makes the interventional sign-relation most quizzical.  The interventional sign-object (SOi<\/sub>) resides in firstness, the category for the content-level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0388 Here is a general picture for the interventional sign-relation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0389 Here is the rub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the sign-vehicle for the specifying sign, the sign-vehicle for the interventional sign cannot be seen, heard, smelled, tasted or touched.  Yet, it2c<\/sub> (SVi<\/sub>) must be present whenever the human psyche asks, “What is happening?”3a<\/sub>, and operates on the potential that ‘something’ could be happening1a<\/sub> (SIi<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the sign-object for the interventional sign (SOi<\/sub>) is something that can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted or touched.  In fact, it2a<\/sub> is so apparent that it can be observed and measured as phenomena by psychometric scientists.  Yes, it2a<\/sub> is so obvious that it2a<\/sub> is contiguous with the sign-vehicle of the specifying sign relation (SVs<\/sub>).  This is the topic of Razie Mah’s blog in December 2023, titled Looking at Daniel Dennett’s Book (2017) “From Bacteria To Bach And Back”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0390 For the interscope of the post-truth condition, the interventional sign-relation looks like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0391 What do I mean when I say that a stakeholder-adjusted empirio-normative judgment2c<\/sub><\/em> may fail to initiate an interventional sign-relation?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, clearly, the manipulative nature of the empirio-normative judgment2c<\/sub> is a feature, rather than a technical problem to be solved.  Success2c<\/sub>, for the scientismist one3c<\/sub>, turns a value-laden opportunity1c<\/sub> into an actionable judgment2c<\/sub>.  The judgment associates to the interventional sign-vehicle (SVi<\/sub>).  The action2c<\/sub> associates to its reception by the scrappy player’s reason3a,1a<\/sub> (SIi<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the failure goes like this.  If the empirio-normative judgment2c<\/sub><\/em> (SVi<\/sub>) is so distorted by accommodation to stakeholder demands,<\/em> then content-level reason3a,1a<\/sub> (SIi<\/sub>) may not engage, as shown in the following figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
