Re: SUO: Re[2]: SUO and New Semiotics
Leonid,

I believe that semiotics is very important. I also agree
with Peirce that there is a continuity of semiotic processes
at every level of living organisms. Peirce even mentioned
"crystals and bees" as examples. If he had known about DNA,
he would have been ecstatic.
However, the SUO is not a living organism that has any
intentions of its own. If anything gets into SUO, someone
will have to develop a specific proposal, present it in
detail, show how the semiotic (including biosemiotic)
concepts can be formalized, and demonstrate that the
formalization can solve some serious practical problems.
That is a nontrivial amount of work. It is a task that
I would be interested in working on, along with the other
2317 unfinished projects on my input stack.
