0452 What does this imply?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists have been elucidating the physical foreground of semiotic agency<\/em> for four-hundred years, while at the same time remaining oblivious to its metaphysical background<\/em>.  It’s funny in a horrifying sort of way.  Perhaps, we may be forgiven, for we know not what we do<\/em>.  Without the causes associated to Aristotle’s metaphysics, we cannot even ascertain what an agent is<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture, once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

0453 An agent3<\/sub> brings semiotic agency2<\/sub> into relation with the potential of ‘final causality’1<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without the potential of teleology1<\/sub>, the agent3<\/sub> cannot be recognized as the normal context for semiotic agency2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0454 In section 12.2, Igamberdiev introduces two distinctive terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, “ontolon” labels the coming together of a triadic relation<\/em>.  A triadic relation<\/em> is an ontological whole<\/em>.  Ontology encompasses thirdness, secondness and firstness.  A single category-based nested form<\/em> is an ontolon<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, “vortex” labels the swirling coming-to-fruition of<\/em> a model,<\/em> in conjunction with disciplinary language<\/em> and the observations and measurements of phenomena<\/em>.  In short, “vortex” labels an empirio-schematic judgment,<\/em> as a triadic relation<\/em> constellating in what ought to be<\/em> (and secondness) in the Positivist’s judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0455 In sum, Igamberdiev’s terms<\/em> label the two sources of illumination<\/em> in the Positivist’s judgment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Uh-oh, where is the ontolon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0456 Ontolons<\/em> associate to noumena<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vortexes<\/em> associate to phenomena.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0457 Sharov and Tonnessen’s noumenal overlay<\/em> identifies what phenomena can objectify the noumenal overlay<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, triumphal science places a successful model over the noumenon, in order to create the situation where a model<\/em> (veiling the noumenon) [can be objectified as] its phenomena<\/em>.  Sharov and Tonnessen’s noumenal overlay<\/em>performs the same catharsis.  Yet, the performance cannot be complete, because Sharov and Tonnessen’s noumenal overlay<\/em> is… um… noumenal.  Indeed, it contains what every biological system has in common:<\/em> the specifying and exemplar sign-relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0458 The phenomena that Sharov and Tonnessen’s noumenal overlay identify<\/em> may be observed and measured by biologists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humans recognize noumena.  That is one of the human adaptations<\/em> into our niche of triadic relations<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, sign-vehicles and sign-objects constitute phenomena that humans may observe (and on occasion, measure).  That data may then go into models (vortexes) that account for the contiguities in the S&T noumenal overlay<\/em>.  These models do not overwrite the noumenon, they fill in<\/em> the noumenon.  So, “vortex” is an excellent word that describes the way models fill in the elements of the noumenon that need to be explained<\/em>.  Models enrich our appreciation of material and efficient causalities that are not divorced from formal and final causalities<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0459 What does this imply?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharov and Tonnessen’s noumenal overlay<\/em> explains the character of what is<\/em> for the biosemiotic version of the Positivist’s judgment<\/em>.   S&T’s overlay<\/em> [can be objectified by] its phenomena<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, the nested form of agent3<\/sub> (an ontolon) cannot be fully objectified by the same phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agent3<\/sub> is the normal context3<\/sub> and ‘final causalities’1<\/sub> is the potential1<\/sub> for all semiotic agencies2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Ah, now I see the ontolon and the vortex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
