I’m not sure what it would mean for complementarity to operate in semiotics. I’d imagine though that the Planck Distribution would arise in other systems based purely on statistical mechanics and not necessarily due to a causal connection to wave/particle duality. After all the distribution takes the form it does in large mart due to how it’s related to thermal average. But I honestly haven’t studied this issue at all so I don’t have much to say. That’s just a guess off the top of my head. After all lots of classical systems are naturally “quantized” without it being due to quantum mechanics.
