Abstract Today, data and intervening digital media provide critical lines of communication with our social business connections. Even those we know personally will typically connect to us via means. As a consequence, the space add third dimension individual: are now mind, body digitality. This essay considers how digitality affects outcomes for individual by exploring mechanisms influence. By u...

Much research in cognitive science and AI has recently been devoted to the study of adaptive autonomous agents, such as robots and artificial life systems. Such agents are typically said to ‘learn, ‘develop’ and ‘evolve’ in close interaction with their environments. It could be argued that these self-organizing properties solve the problem of representation grounding in AI research, and thus al...

This book provides a semiotic analysis of computer programs along three axes: models of signs, kinds of signs, and systems of signs. Since computer programs are well defined and rigid, applying semiotic theories to them will help to reorganize the semiotic theories themselves. Moreover, semiotic discussion of programming theory can provide possible explanations for why programming has developed...

The aims of this article are to outline the nature and scope of psychosemiotics and to highlight its foundations in the semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Peirce. Psychosemiotics, defined as the study of how humans learn, understand, and use signs, is grounded in the theory of the sign and semiosis as conceived by Peirce. Psychosemiotics addresses representation and meaning in seven signways: l...

What is materiality? And is it of a different order from semiosis? In this commentary I reflect on the place of materiality—that quality of material phenomena—and materialization—the processes by which such qualities are actualized in social life—in Matthew Hull’s brilliant book, Government of paper (GoP). The analytic materiality is central to Hull’s ethnography, both theoretically (it informs...

Although it has contributed to remarkable improvements in some specific areas, attempts to develop a universal design theory are generally characterized by failure. This paper sketches arguments for a new approach to engineering design based on Semiotics – the science about signs. The approach is to combine different design theories over all the product life cycle stages into one coherent and t...

In the present talk I intend to discuss the validity of a model (or better, a class of models) of learning and deuterolearning processes in cognitive systems, constructed combining set-theoretical and proof-theoretical concepts. This class of models is based on ideas coming from different disciplines: 1) Gregory Bateson’s systemic-relational theory of learning and change; 2) G ̈odel’s incomplete...

We have tried to open some new and possibly undisclosed vistas on the famous scene in movie Schindler?s List, by Steven Spielberg, probing question: can should Holocaust be represented. To best of my knowledge, speech main antagonist movie, Amon Goeth, ?Today is history?, has not this moment been treated manner, as bearer insightful theories style philosophy. This what we remedy paper. try acco...

The hybrid aspect of cultures has been on the agenda of cultural and social studies as well as the arts for several years. From the perspective of the semiotician, cultures will necessarily be in continuous contact with a minimum of neighbours in order to enhance cultural semiosis, i.e., to make innovation and change possible. Otherwise, isolation would be in effect and limit a culture to its o...

1.1 Topography of Music 1.1.1 The Ontological Topography of Music The role of semiotic aspects in musicology is best described from the complex ontological topography of music. We start this article from the fundamental description [70], stating that “music is communication, has meaning and mediates on the physical level between its mental and psychic levels”. This fact suggests that three onto...
