  1. More Constraints, More Freedom: Revisit Semiotic Scaffolding, Semiotic Freedom, and Semiotic Emergence.Liqian Zhou - 2023 - Biosemiotics 16 (3):395-413.
    How semiotic freedom emerges in the evolution and development of organisms through semiotic scaffolding is a core problem for biosemiotics. There is a paradox in explaining this semiotic emergence: reduction in (semiotic) freedom leads to the creation of new semiotic freedom. Semiotic emergence is a species of dynamic emergence. Accordingly, the paradox of semiotic emergence is a species of the paradox of dynamic emergence. The latter paradox claims that reducing lower-level freedom generates new freedom at a higher level. The solution (...)

  • Some Challenges to the Evolutionary Status of Semiosis.Claudio Julio Rodríguez Higuera - 2019 - Biosemiotics 12 (3):405-421.
    The prevalent idea that semiosis is evolutionary is a driving point for biosemiotic research, starting from the Peircean premises of continuity and including a large number of views on how signs evolve. In this paper I wish to add a small pinch of skepticism to an otherwise productive point of view. Briefly, the question to be asked is: Is there any proper and fair connection between the logical abstraction of signs, genetic expressions interpreted as signs and the animal usage of (...)

  • Meaning and the evolution of signification and objectivity.Mark Pharoah - 2023 - Semiotica 2023 (250):149-166.
    The coevolution of objectivity and subjectivity and the nature of both their division and connection are central to this paper. Section 2 addresses the nature of meaning from the subjective perspective. Initially, I examine the meaningful engagement that exists between the unicellular organism and its environment. In this respect, I focus on the ontological importance of the qualitative biochemical assimilation of the physical rather than on the evolution of form and function. In Section 3, I broaden the discussion to include (...)
