Editing Interpretant (section)

==Immediate, Dynamical and Final==
The first of his trichotomies is of the Immediate, Dynamical, and Final interpretant. 

The first was defined by Peirce as "the Quality of the Impression that a sign is fit to produce, not to any actual reaction"<ref>{{cite book |last1=Shapiro |first1=Michael |title=The Logic of Language A Semiotic Study of Speech |date=2022 |publisher=Springer International Publishing |page=26}}</ref> and elsewhere as "the total unanalyzed effect that the Sign is calculated to produce, or naturally might be expected to produce; and I have been accustomed to identify this with the effect the sign first produces or may produce upon a mind, without any reflection upon it."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Nguyen |first1=Nam T. |title=Nature's Primal Self Peirce, Jaspers, and Corrington |date=2011 |publisher=Lexington Books |page=33}}</ref> An Immediate interpretant can take a variety of forms "it may be a quality of feeling, more or less vague, or an idea of an effort or experience awaked by the air of previous experience or it may be the idea of a form or anything of a general type".<ref>{{cite book |title=Peirce and Biosemiotics A Guess at the Riddle of Life |date=2014 |publisher=Springer |page=59}}</ref>

The second, the Dynamical interpretant. is the "direct effect actually produced by a Sign upon an Interpreter of it".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Freadman |first1=Anne |title=The Machinery of Talk Charles Peirce and the Sign Hypothesis |date=2004 |publisher=Stanford University Press |page=162}}</ref> The last, the Final, is "the effect the Sign would produce upon any mind upon which circumstances should permit it to work out its full effect" and not "the way in which any mind does act but in the way in
which every mind would act" if "the Sign is sufficiently considered".<ref name=semiotica/>
