0355 The sign-elements associated to the S&T noumenal overlay<\/em> conveys the new message<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the specifying sign, exposed cellulose in the wood-eating insect’s gut2a<\/sub> (SVs<\/sub>) stands for the emergent being of a conformationally-distorted beta-linked polysaccharide held in the jaws of a cleaving enzyme2b<\/sub> (SOs<\/sub>) in regards to bacterial self-governance3b<\/sub> operating on potential courses of action1b<\/sub> (SIs<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the exemplar sign, the emergent being of a beta-linked polysaccharide bound to “the claws and jaws” of new complex2b<\/sub> (SVe<\/sub>) stands for a seemingly endless source of glucose from ingested cellulose2c<\/sub> (SOe<\/sub>) in regards to what certain bacteria in the insect’s gut3c<\/sub> are capable of doing1c<\/sub><\/em> (SIe<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0356 Each of the sign-vehicles and the sign-objects have observable and measurable facets that will eventually go into scientific models.  The scientific models will assist in accounting for each of the sign-interpretants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biosemiotic research may be conducted after phase one is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biosemiotic research can never tell whether phase one is proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the way of empedoclement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0357 It seems that the wood-chewing insect, so empowered, would go berserk and start to eat every living plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like ripples in still water, biosemiotic waves propagate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If these wood-chewing insects go after a living plant, then all that plant needs to do is develop a toxin that poisons those little beta-linkage breaking bacteria.  Problem solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, so these new insects are not invulnerable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0358 Tell that to the exterminator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exterminator facing a wood-eating insect infiltration, knows that certain principles apply.  He assesses signs.  Is communication (section 10.3) an issue here?  I suppose that depends on who is doing the talking<\/em> and who is receiving the message<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0359 Peirce’s definition of a sign as a triadic relation is crucial for biosemiotics.  So, are Peirce’s three categories.  Even before getting to a question of communication, there is a character to the S&T overlay that embodies the relational structure of specifying and exemplar sign-relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0360 These sign-elements, in turn, represent locations in a three-level interscope<\/em>.  An interscope is a category-based nested form composed of category-based nested forms<\/em>.  Each nested form exhibits a normal context3<\/sub>, actuality2<\/sub> and potential1<\/sub>. Then, the nested forms compose the three levels of contenta<\/sub>, situationb<\/sub> and perspectivec<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See A Primer on the Category-Based Nested Form<\/em> and A Primer on Sensible and Social Construction,<\/em> by Razie Mah, available at smashwords and other e-book venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0361 I will not show a picture of the three-level interscope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, here is how the elements of the three-level interscope<\/em> correspond to elements in the S&T noumenal overlay.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0362 For the specifying sign-relation, a content-level actuality2a<\/sub> (SVs<\/sub>) stands for a situation-level actuality2b<\/sub> (SOs<\/sub>) in regards to a situation-level normal context3b<\/sub> and potential1b<\/sub> (SIs<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the exemplar sign-relation, the situation-level actuality2b<\/sub> (SVe<\/sub>) stands for a perspective-level actuality2c<\/sub> (SOe<\/sub>) in regards to a perspective-level normal context3c<\/sub> and potential1c<\/sub> (SIe<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0363 In terms of communication, I can imagine that the SVs<\/sub> is like a transmission sent<\/em> and the SOe<\/sub> is like the transmission received<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
