Other title information: René Thom’s Semiotic Heritage

Annotation: The central concern of this volume is semiogenesis, i.e. the evolution and differentiation of meaningful («pregnant») forms in the field of symbolic systems – from bio-communication to language and cultural forms like music, art, architecture or urban forms. The basic questions are: How are meanings created and further differentiated? Where do they come from? What kind of forces drive their unfolding? How can complex cultural forms be understood based on simple morphodynamic principles? Applications concern the perception of forms by animals and humans, the categorization of forms e.g. in a lexicon, and predication or other complex symbolic behaviors which show up in grammar or in cultural artifacts like the unfolding of urban centers.

Annotation: In Volume 2 the practical application of the early developed pragmatic philosophy of body follows. Articles from 1 to 5 are reviews which cover all organismic kingdoms in special examples, except that of Archaea. The aim was to demonstrate Bio-communication in all domains of life as rule-governed sign-mediated interactions.
