Dear FISers, There is here an important idea which I think is worth a note. The two elements (I say) are in a dynamic relation and a logical relation, as the mind moves between them. Alternately one or the other is predominant (more actualized)
Lupasco said: "experience is logic; logic is experience". Closer to home we have: "information is constraints and constraints are information" (Kauffman et al, 2008). The purport of metabolism is change, not only burning carbon-hydrogen bonds. But perhaps we might all prefer "communicating is life; life is communicating".

You might be interested in "semantic metabolism", coined by late Tom Stonier and published in this list too, long ago. The intertwining of our metabolic necessities and the communicational ones is amazing---our language picks it in countless expressions: dis-gust, bitterness, un-swabable; or the chinese ni-bao which is also quite realistic and interesting... best ---Pedro Loet Leydesdorff wrote: >> 11.
