Parts I and III of&nbsp;<em>Semiotic Agency<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0258 These sections cover tremendous territory, in a sweeping fashion.&nbsp;&nbsp;By far and away, the diagram of&nbsp;<em>Sharov and Tonnessen&#8217;s noumenal overlay<\/em>&nbsp;is the most striking accomplishment of this examination.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The S&amp;T noumenal overlay<\/em>frames&nbsp;<em>biosemiotics<\/em>&nbsp;as&nbsp;<em>a historical branch of phenomenology<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The S&amp;T noumenal overlay<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>what the noumenon should be<\/em>&nbsp;if the biosemiotic noumenon is&nbsp;<em>what all biological systems and processes have in common<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Finally,&nbsp;<em>the S&amp;T noumenal overlay<\/em>&nbsp;embodies&nbsp;<em>the specifying sign-relation<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0259 The task before me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How am I to delineate a path forward?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0260 Plus, as always in such matters, a new development cannot be ignored.&nbsp;&nbsp;Alexei Sharov publishes a new book in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0261 So, let me first attend to the remainder of&nbsp;<em>Semiotic Agency<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0262 Part II consists in three chapters.&nbsp;&nbsp;I list these chapters in reverse order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
