0819 In the interventional sign-relation, the agent3<\/sub> and final causality1<\/sub> are exposed in the same way that a helium balloon, suddenly rising above a carnival crowd, says, “Someone just let go of their balloon (SOe<\/sub>).” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Semiotic agency reaches a terminus (SOe<\/sub>).  That terminus is contiguous with an interventional sign-vehicle (SVi<\/sub>).  The contiguity is [meaning, mn].  The balloon rises from a perspective-level actuality2c<\/sub> (SVi<\/sub>) into the mundane atmosphere of a content-level actuality2a<\/sub> (SOi<\/sub>) in the normal context of say, what is happening3a<\/sub><\/em> operating on the potential of ‘something’ happening1a<\/sub><\/em> (SIi<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rising balloon2a<\/sub> sends a message [mg] that says, “Now that I’ve caught your attention3a((1a))<\/sub>, I will serve as the next real initiating (semiotic) event2a<\/sub> (SVs<\/sub>).”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0820 Here is a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

0821 The interventional sign relation<\/em> occupies the existential dimension<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The existential dimension<\/em> seems so much more dangerous than the other two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0822 The representative and interpretive dimensions<\/em> belong to semiotic agency<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0823 I suppose I may say that – if I must choose the second most dangerous dimension – the interpretative dimension<\/em>comes next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

If I have poor information2b<\/sub> (SVe<\/sub>) and have an unworthy goal (SOe<\/sub>), then {SOe<\/sub> [meaning] (SVi<\/sub>)}2c<\/sub> may yield an intervention that misses the mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suppose I am trying to say, “If the interpretative dimension is wayward, then the existential dimension becomes more dangerous.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0824 Section 17.5 concludes the article by dwelling on the three dimensions and their roles in modeling danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0825 However, the existential dimension <\/em>contains a hidden and disturbing discovery<\/em>.  The existential dimension <\/em>is outside of semiotic agency<\/em>.  The existential dimension<\/em> contains the interventional sign-relation.<\/em>  The existential dimension<\/em> may reveal the agent3<\/sub> and the final causality1<\/sub> that make semiotic agency2<\/sub> an actuality2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0826 Here is a picture of how semiotic agency<\/em> (containing the representative and interpretive dimensions) entangles the interventional sign-relation<\/em> (constituting the existential dimension).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0827 I thank the author for this wonderful chapter, fully titled “The Peculiar Case of Danger Modeling: Meaning-Generation in Three Dimensions”, marking the conclusion of Part III of Pathways,<\/em> titled “Meanings in Organism Behavior and Cognition”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This chapter marks the end of this examination of\u00a0the biosemiotics of nonhuman agency<\/em>\u00a0and opens a portal to\u00a0an examination of human agency<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0828 Biosemiotics is more than semiotic agency.\u00a0\u00a0Biosemiotics includes the interventional sign-relation.\u00a0\u00a0Sharov and Tonnessen’s noumenal overlay,<\/em>\u00a0more creative and productive than any noumenal overlay that biology has seen so far, now entangles\u00a0an existential dimension<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
