DIPTI >"What was the very first instance of semiosis and why, where and how did it occur? What preceded it, and what triggered it?" 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. sj From: biosemiotics-requ...@lists.ut.ee [mailto:biosemiotics-requ...@lists.ut.ee] On Behalf Of Dipti Kotwal Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2018 7:29 PM To: biosemiot...@lists.ut.ee Cc: peirce-l@list.iupui.edu Subject: Re: [biosemiotics:9289] Systems theory, DNA entanglement, agents and semiosis 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.

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. sj From: Edwina Taborsky [mailto:tabor...@primus.ca] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2018 7:55 PM To: peirce-l@list.iupui.edu; biosemiot...@lists.ut.ee; Stephen Jarosek Subject: [PEIRCE-L] Re: [biosemiotics:9287] Systems theory, DNA entanglement, agents and semiosis I think this is an important distinction.

HELMUT >"because he speaks of "structural coupling"" 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. sj From: Helmut Raulien [mailto:h.raul...@gmx.de] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2018 5:36 PM To: sjaro...@iinet.net.au Cc: peirce-l@list.iupui.edu; biosemiot...@lists.ut.ee Subject: Aw: [PEIRCE-L] Systems theory, DNA entanglement, agents and semiosis Stephen, list, I dont think, that "Luhmann (according to Maturana) ignores the fact that communications presuppose human communicators.", because he speaks of "structural coupling", which, I guess, may also mean presupposition.
