Creation of the Sign as Semipoiesis
摘要
In the article, using an example from the text of Philosophical Investigations by L. Wittgenstein, the author explains the logic of the internal laws of semiosis and shows that sign generation is an immanent property of the sign system itself. The autopoietic approach to the substantiation of semiosis is also supported by the teachings of biosemiotics and molecular genetics on genetic coding. An example of such a sign system is the genetic code, which includes both correlation schemes between nucleotides and amino acids, followed by amino acids and proteins, and operations involved in their regulation and subsequent interaction with the context (environment). For such an understanding of sign systems, an important role belongs to the principles of Peirce’s semiotics, which establish mediation between the object and the interpretant, and to the doctrine of Eigenform put forward by a number of researchers.
