Stephen - there are a number of us who have been saying [ and writing] this for years; that is, that Peircean semiosis operates within the physico-chemical realm. Peirce too included this realm.
Edwina ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Jarosek To: 'PEIRCE-L' ; biosemiot...@lists.ut.ee Sent: Monday, February 01, 2016 2:21 PM Subject: [PEIRCE-L] Pragmatism - atoms, molecules, entanglement List, I stumbled upon a fascinating video clip on the weekend. Might Peircean-biosemiotic concepts apply also to atoms and molecules? Peirce's "mind hidebound with habits" comes to mind. But back in his day, Peirce could never have known what we now know about quantum physics and entanglement - he'd have much to say about all this were he alive today. Atoms and molecules also have to "know" very specific properties in order to make possible the astonishing complexity within a cell. Entanglement is the medium by which atoms and molecules "know" (imitate) their properties. sj ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------- PEIRCE-L subscribers: Click on "Reply List" or "Reply All" to REPLY ON PEIRCE-L to this message.
