Summary/Abstract: Still, the possibility of an instinct-experience-habit triad is not exactly alien to Peircean thought: add to the instinct-experience-form triad the passage from the late essay “A Neglected Argument for the Reality of God” (CP 6.454), where “An ‘Experience’ is a brutally produced conscious eff ect that contributes to a habit,” and the 1902 “Minute Logic,” where he defines an “instinct” as an “an inherited habit” (CP 2.170), thus bending the triad around into a cycle.
