Final or Normal Interpretant
" Final Interpretant is the effect the Sign would produce in any mind upon which the circumstances should permit it to work out its full effect. ... is the one Interpretative result to which every Interpreter is destined to come if the Sign is sufficiently considered. The Final Interpretant is that toward which the actual tends." (Letter to Lady Welby, SS 110-1, 1909)

“Still let us not be over-sanguine of a speedy final triumph. Let us be quite sober. Let us diligently apply the means, never doubting that a just God, in his own good time, will give us the rightful result.”

“A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. It addresses somebody, that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. That sign which it creates I call the interpretant of the first sign. The sign stands for something, its object. It stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which I have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
