0783 The first concession to make is that the incident where a fallen tree appears to be a bear fits nicely into the author’s model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The model is a bear.  Or, a bear is the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

0784 When the author uses the term, “gestalt”, to describe the congruence of model and semiosis, the author means that the entire relation<\/em> comes into being as a whole<\/em>.  The sign-relation is not a sum of dyadic causes [and] effects<\/em>.  The sign is an indivisible, purely relational being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matter enters into the being through existential (as SV), representational (as SO) and interpretive (as SI) portals or “dimensions”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0785 Of course, I tend to work with a very different looking picture of sign-relations.  A category-based nested form is one of the simpler triadic relations.  Thirdness bring secondness into relation with firstness.  Normal context3<\/sub> brings actuality2<\/sub> into relation with the possibility of ‘something’1<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The category-based nested form is fractal.  An interscope<\/em> is a category-based nested form composed of category-based nested forms<\/em>.  Perspectivec<\/sub> brings situationb<\/sub> into relation with the potential of contenta<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the framework of category-based nested forms<\/em>, a sign-relation<\/em> crosses levels of an interscope<\/em>.  The specifying sign-relation<\/em> crosses from content (SVs<\/sub>) to situation (SIs<\/sub> and SOs<\/sub>).  The exemplar sign-relation<\/em> crosses from situation (SVe<\/sub>) to perspective (SIe<\/sub> and SOe<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0786 The problem is that an interscope containing specifying and exemplar sign-relations<\/em> is not available to science.  It is sort of like a model.  And, triumphalist scientists love to place successful models into the slot for the noumenon in the Positivist’s judgment.  Then, the model<\/em> (as a substitute for the noumenon) [can be objectified by] its phenomena<\/em>.  That is the nature of the laboratory sciences.  The goal is to replace the noumenon<\/em> with a successful model<\/em>.  The model becomes as real as the noumenon, the thing itself<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0787 Compare a tree falling in a forest<\/em> and the concept of gravity<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is more real?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0788 Now, look at the above figure<\/em> and see how it models why I turn around in my hike when I think I see a bear on the path in the distance<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is more real, me seeing a bear<\/em> or the sign-relation of a log way ahead?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0789 Now comes the amoeba business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sign-relation depicted above<\/em> is a specifying sign-relation<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The specifying and exemplar sign relations<\/em> are incorporated into Sharov and Tonnessen’s noumenal overlay<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

0790 One of the benefits of engulfing the morsel of Sebeok and Danesi’s concept of “model” as a sign-vehicle that stands for the matter at hand<\/em> is that I arrive (through two steps, conversion into a situation-level nested form and re-arrangement of the actuality into a dyad similar to Aristotle’s hylomorphe) at a familiar label for the contiguity between the real elements of actuality2b<\/sub><\/em>.  Instead of [&], the contiguity is [presence].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0792 This raises two questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0793 One, in S&T’s noumenal overlay, the sign-vehicles and sign objects support phenomena<\/em> and the sign-interpretants are what needs to be modeled by biosemioticians<\/em>.  So, an explicit scientific “model” is not the same as the semiotic “model” of [SIs<\/sub>] or [SIe<\/sub>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question takes off from there, asking, “If the sign-interpretants that need to be modeled<\/em> are contiguities in semiotic agency,<\/em> and if [presence] is the contiguity between SOs<\/sub> and SVe<\/sub>, does [p] need to be explained as well?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My abbreviation for “presence” is [p].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0794 Two, I thought that “presence” associated to the entire situation-level actuality, {SOs<\/sub> [&] SVe<\/sub>}2b<\/sub> and now “presence” replaces [&].  Then, what about the “message” for the content-level actuality, {SVs<\/sub>}2a<\/sub>, and what about “meaning” for the perspective-level actuality, {SOe<\/sub>}2c<\/sub>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where are the contiguities [mg] for “message” and [mn] for “meaning”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
