Summary/Abstract: We here give testimony to Jesper Hoffmeyer’s significance: his noteworthiness and his meaning; why he ‘outstands’ and what he ‘signs’ (Hoffmeyer uses ‘significance’ in both senses; see 1996: Ch. 1; 2008: xvi). Sign-nature is his signature: the significance of significance emerging from significance; how something became someone (Hoffmeyer 1996: viii), how the out-standing becomes sign.
