The quantum void? The fleeting virtual particles of the quantum void that have 
to "learn how to be" before they can become the matter particles, hidebound in 
habit, that can persist across time? The quantum void always was, it was always 
pregnant with possibility. Maybe there never really was a beginning.

Hello all,

In response to narrative 1, anything being 'operationally closed' is 
fundamentally an impossibility because everything ultimately exists as 
spacetime+gravity.
What we humans identify as a system is a delineated -- but never truly isolated 
-- set of matter energy transformations and interactions, or the cognizable 
part of its trajectory in phase space.

As for agency (in which are naturally subsumed 'conciousness' and 'cognition') 
perhaps it can be considered a special case of entropy.

Which brings me back to the questions: What was the very first instance of 
semiosis and why, where and how did it occur? What preceded it, and what 
triggered it?

Best,

Dipti.

Dear members,

In a recent debate on systems theory in another forum, I explored with
others, the specific issues informing Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) and
autopoiesis. There seems to be two dominant, competing narratives playing
out:

1) AUTOPOIESIS AS OPERATIONALLY CLOSED: 

The dynamics of autopoiesis are regarded as relational, not externally
caused. According to Wikipedia, Niklas Luhman regarded social systems as
"... operationally closed in that while they use and rely on resources from
their environment, those resources do not become part of the systems'
operation. Both thought and digestion are important preconditions for
communication, but neither appears in communication as such. Note, however,
that Maturana argued very vocally that this appropriation of autopoietic
theory was conceptually unsound, as it presupposes the autonomy of
communications from actual persons. That is, by describing social systems as
operationally closed networks of communications, Luhmann (according to
Maturana) ignores the fact that communications presuppose human
communicators."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niklas_Luhmann

Echoing Maturana's concern in my own words... in an operationally closed
culture, the cultural narrative exists as a kind of overlay, independently
of the humans engaging it.

2) AUTOPOIESIS AS SEMIOSIS BY AN AGENT:

This is our position. We acknowledge the role of the agent, semiosis, and
the choices that the agent makes from its Umwelt. Where the former regards
an "operationally closed" system as an overlay independent of the agents
making choices from it, our own perspective incorporates agents inextricably
as part of the system. For us, therefore, pragmatism plays a central role.
In the "operationally closed" system, by contrast, it would seem that
pragmatism plays a minimal role, if any. Lest there remain any doubt,
Peirce's "The man is the thought" clearly designates man as an agent.
Preaching here to the converted, we require no further elaboration.

DNA ENTANGLEMENT = AUTONOMOUS AGENTS

What can we do to entice the "operationally closed" CAS crowd to move over
to our side? If we can get others to appreciate the importance of including
agents within their narrative, it may compel them to better appreciate the
potential of the semiotic paradigm.

The case for focusing on the agent might be made more compelling by
incorporating DNA entanglement into our narrative. DNA entanglement
addresses two critical problems... entropy and the binding problem. In this
regard, with respect to the binding problem, we are further compelled to
focus on the observer as the locus of control. A living observer comprised
of cells bound together by entangled DNA is clearly an agent making choices
from it Umwelt. It cannot be any other way. Why does DNA entanglement

EDWINA >"Ideologies can be 'operationally closed' - that's the goal of 
fundamentalism in religion."

Yes, as per my reply to Helmut, Luhmann's "operationally closed" perspective 
seems to be an extension of the objectivist paradigm. Fundamentalist religion, 
man-made-in-god's-image, Darwinism, human exceptionalism, etc, all make 
assumptions about objective truth where reality plays out independently of the 
observer, and I think that this is the same trap that Luhmann's interpretation 
falls into. Reminds me of Richard Dawkins' memetics theory.

This is a perspective where human behavior is regarded merely as an impartial 
medium for the transmission of cultural communications... a very odd position I 
must say. They're failing to recognize a most important point... the 
relationship between human behavior and culture... the "knowing how to be", 
imitation and pragmatism.

I think this is an important distinction. 
Do societies function by ideology or by interactional relations with their 
environment and others? 
Ideologies can be 'operationally closed' - that's the goal of fundamentalism in 
religion. This is where " the cultural narrative exists as a kind of overlay, 
independently of the humans engaging it" that Stephen refers to.
Cultural anthropology believes in the determinism of the cultural narrative.
However, I think that a society, as a CAS [complex adaptive system] operates as 
an interactional system - and that includes its operating narrative. Granted - 
it can take generations for a cultural narrative to change - but - it does.

I'm no expert on Luhmann's work, but that was also what I vaguely recall of his 
work from a good 2 decades ago. But my take on Luhmann's position is that while 
structural coupling does take place, what really matters, from his perspective, 
is the understanding (reality) implied in the body of the communication, and 
not what the observer (psychic system) makes of that communication. This seems 
to be some kind of objectivist position where reality is assumed to play out 
independently of the observer.
