0765 Section 17.2 deals with models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it possible to couple concepts of modeling<\/em> with semiotics?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas Sebeok and Marcel Danesi collaborate on a book, titled Forms of Meaning: Modeling Systems Theory and Semiotic Analysis<\/em> (2000, Morton de Gruyter, Berlin, Germany).  They conclude that a model<\/em> is a sign-vehicle<\/em> (a form, real or imagined) that stands for a sign-object<\/em> (referring to the matter at hand) in regards to a sign-interpretant<\/em> (a referential domain).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of “is”, may I say, “appears to be”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0766 Sebeok and Danesi’s formulation of “model” as a sign-relation<\/em> may be reconfigured into into a category-based nested form,<\/em> where each categorical element<\/em> takes on the appearance of belonging to a sign-relation<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0767 Here is a diagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

0768 Notice that a simplification has occurred. For Sebeok and Danesi, a “model” mimics a sign-relation.  In this reconfiguration, a form (SVapp<\/sub>) [stands for] matter at hand (SOapp<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, a sign-relation simplifies into a hylomorphe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The subscript says that “is” may be changed to “appears to be”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0769 But, really – and this is a little confusing – I can configure the dyad another way, so that it looks even more like Aristotle’s hylomorphe of matter [substance] form<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this switcheroo, a “model” is a hylomorphe where the matter at hand<\/em> (apparent SO) [makes present] its form<\/em>(apparent SV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0769 Here is a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

0770 Does this make sense, especially when it comes to danger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, how about an example?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am walking on a forest trail.  I can see, far up the trail, that there is something and it appears to be blocking the path.  It is hard to determine what it is<\/em>.  But, if it is a bear, I am going to turn around before it sees me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0771This fits a situation-level nested form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, a few caveats are in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall that the situation-level normal context3b<\/sub> and its potential1b<\/sub> contribute to a specifying sign-interpretant (SIs<\/sub>).  The situation-level actuality2b<\/sub> goes contains the dyad, {SOs<\/sub> [&] SVe<\/sub>}2b<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, for the S&T noumenal overlay,<\/em> the situation-level2b<\/sub> actuality is labeled, “information2b<\/sub>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

0772 This raises the questions, “Does information2b<\/sub> contain a ‘model’?  Does that ‘model’ fit Sebeok and Danesi’s formulation of a ‘model as a sign-vehicle?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
