T Some Considerations Regarding Mathematical Semiosis
نویسنده
چکیده
The discussion on the possibility of machines to achieve semiosis (meaning process) is a very controversial debate within Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. In this work, we define meaning process in an entirely mathematical framework. We call the “transposition” of the Peircean theory to an abstract mathematical model as “Mathematical Semiosis”. By doing this, we aim at growing a more understandable theory for explaining what is to mean, in a strictly mathematical sense, avoiding complications related to the connection of signs to a real world. The main application of such a theory would be in order to develop machines with these capabilities. In such a regard, what we are calling here "Mathematical Semiosis" would be a kind of purely mathematical abstraction for what is "Semiosis" in the real world. Index Terms — Semiosis, Meaning, Mathematical Semiosis.

Some Considerations on Artificial Semiosis
Meaning is a central problem in intelligent systems design. Most approaches in literature still adopt a strict symbolic definition of meaning, which usually results in deficiencies such as the symbol grounding problem. The objective of this research is to come up with a computational model of the emergence of meaning in autonomous agents based on the pragmatic notion of sign as defined by Charl...
متن کاملEmergent Information Some System-theoretical Considerations about an Integrative Information Concept
Philosophy-of-information considerations can analyse information concepts according to four ways of thinking. A Unified Theory of Information (UTI) requires the fourth way of thinking – integration. This integration can be performed, if a complex systems view is informed by the heuristics of a historical and logical account. In particular, the terms of “difference” or “variety”, negentropy and ...
متن کاملEugenics and Ethical Considerations Regarding the Violation of Justice
It is clear that technologies related to medicine and genetics, especially genetic engineering and eugenics, have grown significantly in recent decades. These advances have led to prevention of abnormalities and treatment of diseases. However, it seems the use of genetic engineering and eugenics and the possibility of irresponsible and profitable use of these technologies it's worrying. Hence, ...
متن کاملSemiosis as an Emergent Process
In this paper, we intend to discuss if and in what sense semiosis (meaning process, cf. C.S. Peirce) can be regarded as an “emergent” process in semiotic systems. It is not our problem here to answer when or how semiosis emerged in nature. As a prerequisite for the very formulation of these problems, we are rather interested in discussing the conditions which should be fulfilled for semiosis to...
متن کاملCritical Realism and Semiosis I --introduction
This paper explores the mutual implication of critical realism and semiosis. Three key questions can be posed in this regard. 1 The first (discussed in Section II) concerns how far critical realism needs to include semiosis, provisionally defined as the intersubjective production of meaning, 2 in its more general approach to social relations, their reproduction and transformation. In exploring ...
