[MD] Interesting Thought From Peirce Listserv

All,

While perusing my backlog of message in PEIRCE-L (the Charles Peirce 
equivalent to our MD), I found a post with the following thought...

"wouldn't the question be what do we mean by "unity" expressed in 
terms of how we assess its effects?  At bottom--if there is one--an 
"object" is a very loosely associated and dynamic assemblage of 
stuff, and "unity" is more like pattern than substance.  There one 
might describe a "unit" or "object" in terms of redundancy (expected 
pattern vs. chaos)." (Author's name is Bill Bailey)

Sounds very MOQish, no?
