This table lays out the structure of "precision" or "prescinding" that Peirce summarizes in "On a New List of Categories." It depicts the structure of inference and analysis by which one can recognize first, that there are three degrees of thinking one thing without thinking another (discrimination, precision, and dissociation), and then that there are four corresponding states of the system, using the example of red, blue, color, and space. 0= what is possible to think X= what is NOT possible to think B S C R L P O E U A L D E C O E R W/ W/ O O W/ W/ O O C R O E C S L D O P O L A R .
