Summary/Abstract: Biosemiotics studies the signification, communication, and habit formation of living processes. The change of perspective that distinguishes it from mainstream biology lies in its consideration of life not just from the standpoint of physics, chemistry and information theory, but also from the standpoint of semiotics, as dynamic meaningful sign processes and structures. As such, it attempts a more unified semiotic perspective on the processes and patterns that connect the central material phenomena of the living world – from the ribosome, genes, proteins, cells, nervous systems, perception and motor organ’s stimulus-driven reflex behavior, to the conscious and experiential world of human beings and higher mammals.
