Joe, Seth:

Yes, but Peirce would be rather acutely aware that the significant features
of transformations on any space, whether algebraic, geometric, or syntactic,
would be its invariant properties, the kinds of "objective qualities" that
are not affected by the vicissitudes of the arbitrary metamorphoses in its
conventionally arbitrated bases of representation.
