Immune information, self-organization and meaning.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To effect the molecular integrity of the individual, the immune system has to gather antigenic information and respond in a meaningful way. Immunologists traditionally have focused their research on analyzing the component parts of the system. The achievements of immunology in its analytical enterprise have now made it possible to begin the task of synthesis. In this paper, we shall consider how the immune system combines germline and somatic information using a chemical language to establish the functional meaning of antigens.

The communication of meaning and the structuration of expectations: Giddens' "structuration theory" and Luhmann's "self-organization"
The communication of meaning as different from (Shannon-type) information is central to Luhmann’s social systems theory and Giddens’ structuration theory of action. These theories share an emphasis on reflexivity, but focus on meaning along a divide between inter-human communication and intentful action as two different systems of reference. Recombining these two theories into a theory about th...
متن کاملComplexity and information: Measuring emergence, self-organization, and homeostasis at multiple scales
Concepts used in the scientific study of complex systems have become so widespread that their use and abuse has led to ambiguity and confusion in their meaning. In this paper we use information theory to provide abstract and concise measures of complexity, emergence, self-organization, and homeostasis. The purpose is to clarify the meaning of these concepts with the aid of the proposed formal m...
متن کاملGiddens' "structuration," Luhmann's "self-organization," and the operationalization of the dynamics of meaning
Luhmann’s social systems theory and Giddens’ structuration theory of action share an emphasis on reflexivity, but focus on meaning along a divide between inter-human communication and intentful action as two different systems of reference. Recombining these two theories, simulations of interaction, organization, and self-organization of intentional communication can be distinguished by using al...
متن کاملThe Immune Self, the Sign, and the Testes
The immune self is one of the main organizing concepts in immunology. However, it is not quite clear what the immune self is and heated debates are taken place among immunologists concerning the usefulness and the meaning of this concept. In this paper, I argue that the problem of the immune self is analogous to the problem of finding the meanings of the sign in semiotics. Following this sugges...
متن کامل"Meaning" as a sociological concept: A review of the modeling, mapping, and simulation of the communication of knowledge and meaning
The development of discursive knowledge presumes the communication of meaning as analytically different from the communication of information. Knowledge can then be considered as a meaning which makes a difference. Whereas the communication of information is studied in the information sciences and scientometrics, the communication of meaning has been central to Luhmann’s attempts to make the th...
