I think it helps a lot if we don't at this fundamental level talk about
"signs". In the Peircean sense of course "sign" includes tools as well as
indexes in general, and icons as well as symbols, but it is easy to slip
into forgetting this, and forgetting that signs are material things in
every case. This is not the normal meaning of the word "sign." On the other
hand, with "tool" or "sign" we think of tools having use and signs having
meaning. Signs in the Peircean sense can "do" in the same way any material
thing does something, like falling or expanding or flowing or whatever.
Which is OK, but I think that is a slightly different take on "doing."
Confusion without end.

The thing which is important for psychology and I think the least ambiguous
is "artefact". Artefacts have meaning and use and they are material things
obedient to the laws of physics. They have by their nature the capacity
for only a certain range of uses, and afford only certain meanings (A
Confucion poem cannot be made to mean the Highway Code).

"Artefact" also is helpful in avoiding the sort of conundrums with ideas
like "reifying". I think artefacts cannot "do". I think doing in this
context is something that people do and consciously to boot. Artefacts,
like all material things, lend themselves to this or that use. So surely
people do things with artefacts, all kinds of things actually, without
limit. On the other hand, the human body has to be taken as an artefact,
and that can be confusing.

The view that I have come to is that we need to set out from the very
beginning a tripartite ontology. There are three kinds of entity in the
world: ideas (or psyche), artefacts (including the human body, as well as
signs, tools, means of production, etc., culture in other words) and
activities. "Activity" in this sense it to be taken as very general, using
artefacts with a certain idea in mind. Artefacts are material things and
the laws of natural science deal with them.
