Where Did Information Go? Reflections on the Logical Status of Information in a Cybernetic and Semiotic Perspective

摘要: This article explores the usefulness of interdisciplinarity as method enquiry by proposing an investigation concept information in light semiotics. is because, Kull, Deacon, Emmeche, Hoffmeyer and Stjernfelt state, implicitly semiotic term (Biological Theory 4(2):167–173, 2009: 169), but logical relation between semiosis has not been sufficiently clarified yet. Across history cybernetics, undergoes uneven development; that is, ‘objective’ entity first order becomes a ‘subjective’ second cybernetics. contradiction relegates status to ‘true’ or ‘false’ formal logic problem. The present study proposes solution this can be found Deely’s reconfiguration Peirce’s ‘object’ (as his triadic model semiosis) into ‘thing’ (Deely 1981). ontology allows one argue neither nor ‘false’, suggest that, when considered its workability, both true false, such it constitutes organism’s purely objective reality 2009b). It stated process building reality, ‘motivated’ environmental, physiological, emotional (including past feelings expectations) constraints which are, turn, framed observership. Information therefore irreducible cybersemiotic links at once all these conditions simultaneously constrained them. integration cybernetics’ semiotics’ understanding shows analytical principle grants scientific rigour interdisciplinary investigations. As such, any attempt clarify epistemological stance (e.g. aspect information), argued biosemiotics does need only acknowledge semiotics does), also cybernetics heritage.
