Looking at Igor Pilshchikov and Mikhail Trunin’s Article (2016) “The Tartu-Moscow School of Semiotics” (Part 23 of 27)

0296 The so-called “Prague spring” (B) occurs in the middle of the first iteration of the TMS.

1968 runs into a disturbance, a black swan event, and…

0297 …the path changes, from a movement that would have mimicked triumphalist science to something far more confounding.

0298 Remember, the perspective level of the fundament three-level interscope presents a model (from the empirio-schematic judgment) that should overlay the noumenon (in the Positivist’s judgment).

0299 The perspective-level actuality2c (what ought to be, Positivist’s judgment) should have proceeded to overlay the noumenon1a (what is, Positivist’s judgment), but that would produce an obvious discrepancy with the Marxist theory of the substantiation of human conditions by material arrangements.

0300 Instead (C), the perspective-level model2c enters the content level of a new derivative interscope, that will eventually constellate the claim.

Furthermore (D), the entangled matter gets confounded with the contiguities in a two level interscope that coheres to Lotman’s move to include cultural studies (described in section six (6)), in a way that does not make a claim contradicting regime sustaining Marxist models.

0301 Let me dwell on the instead (C).

The entrance follows the path of the interventional-sign relation, which is discussed in Looking at John Deely’s Book (2010) “Semiotic Animal”, appearing in Razie Mah’s blog for October, 2023.

0302 Here is a diagram.

0303 In the triadic structure of a sign-relation, a sign-vehicle (SV) stands for a sign-object (SO) in regards to a sign-interpretant (SI).

This interventional sign relation crosses from the perspective-level of the fundament interscope to the content-level of the derivative interscope.

It also passes from the empirio-schematic judgment to the Positivist’s judgment.

0304 A semiological2a structuralist2b model2c (SVi) stands for the dyad, {literary text as form2af (SOi) [entangles] language as matter2am} in regards to the TMS positivist intellect3a operating on the potential of ‘meaning’1a (SIi).

0305 In short, Lotman and his collaborators make an intuitive leap from the language of the mother-tongue, the subject matter for semiology and structuralism, to a language of meaning, presence and message that will… um… act as matterthat substantiates forms that are relevant to… hmmm… the entangled claim.
