“…To better understand the difference between classical molecular genetics and the present biosemiotic view, Lacková (2018) showed the difference between code based on a dictionary-like structure and that based on an encyclopaedia-like structure. In the first case, each gene corresponds to a function or a set of functions, and thus the size of the code is limited to the number of genes.…”

“…What enables the encyclopaedia‐type code to function, in semiotic terms, is the interpretant that represents the changes in the cell's molecular rules (habits) as a response to intracellular or external environmental changes. As Lacková (2018) wrote: ‘Genes are not static and unchangeable scripts, but can always be reinterpreted by new interpretants that illuminate them from different points of view, depending on which properties are relevant in a particular context’. The figure of the interpretant agrees with recent discoveries in molecular biology, including the many ways mRNA can be edited, the chromatin modification pathways, the communication through webs comprising different microRNAs, the activity of endogenous retro‐virus and retro‐elements, and so forth (Villarreal & Witzany, 2013a).…”

Information concepts from physics, mathematics and computer science support many areas of research in biology. Their focus is on objective information, which provides correlations and patterns related to objects, processes, marks and signals. In these approaches only the quantitative aspects of the meaning of the information is relevant. In other areas of biology, ‘meaningful information’, which is subjective in nature, relies on the physiology of the organism's sensory organs and on the interpretation of the perceived signals, which is then translated into action, even if this is only mental (in brained animals). Information is involved, in terms of both amount and quality. Here we contextualize and review the main theories that deal with ‘meaningful‐information’ at a molecular level from different areas of natural language research, namely biosemiotics, code‐biology, biocommunication and biohermeneutics. As this information mediates between the organism and its environment, we emphasize how such theories compare with the neo‐Darwinian treatment of genetic information, and how they project onto the rapid evolution of RNA viruses. image

“…They are 15 Cf. other claims on multiplicity of codes (Ilyin, Fomin, Khlebnikov 2020;Zolyan, Zhdanov 2018;Zolyan 2020;Lacková 2018;Faltýnek, Zámečník, Lacková 2017;Faltýnek, Lacková, Matlach 2017 etc. ) 16 The planar orbital description of benzene hexagonal molecule implies three delocalized covalent bonds (each covalent bond entangles one atom to overlap two lobes of an orbital on another atom crosswise) with all six carbon atoms concurrently resonating delocalized electrons.…”

The article departs from the Teilhardean opposition of the inside (le dedans) and the outside (le dehors), notions of reflection and self-enclosure (enroulement sur lui-même), and an experimental law of recurrence (une loi expérimentale de recurrence). The author supplements them with his own apparatus of simplex-complex transformations as an epistemic principle and a set of related practices. The article starts with quantum emergence, forging its inside and outside by an interface and an alternative way to represent it as Diracean membrane, branes of the string theory, and the eigenform. The interface instrumentality for operating the inside and outside of the quantum allows their structured totality to enact agency potential. Simplex-complex transformations allow to represent an evolutionary series of agency transformations as modules of a single model up to a developed human self. The article discusses the recurrence, enclosure, and other trickeries of emergence as well as their representation with the help of cognitive metaphors likme Ouroboros or mathematical formalisms like the Moebius strip. It proceeds to chemical catalysis and autocatalysis, further to emergence of autopoiesis, and finally to biogenesis. Forms of life internalize environmental productive factor (Umwelt) by duplication, recursion, enclosing, folding, etc. to evolve a series of codes, making up integral genetic agency and genome as its key vehicle. The article considers organismic symbiosis and respective autocatalytic recursions, addresses the emergence of signal systems and cognition, which is parallel to and duplicating neural processes. It discusses primary cognitive abilities and their further autocatalytic transformations into a range of more advanced capabilities, along with the emergence of higher levelhigher-level signal systems. Finally, it ends up by discussing anthropogenesis and stepwise emergence and advancement of human language and thought in a series of internalizations of communicative contexts (frames, typical communicative settings, mementoes and typical remembrances, etc.) into codes of the first, second, and further orders.

Pohyb ku kognitívnym adaptačným štúdiám: adaptácia ako hra

Hlavným cieľom monografie „Pohyb ku kognitívnym adaptačným štúdiám: adaptácia ako hra“ bolo orientovať súčasný výskum adaptačných štúdií vektorom empiricky zodpovednej kognitívnej vetvy neradikálneho konštruktivizmu. Tento zámer vyplýva z prudkej progresívnej diferenciácie výskumu adaptačných štúdií, ktorá sa v tejto oblasti prejavila hlavne v posledných dvoch dekádach. Modelom adaptácie ako hry v kognitívnovednej perspektíve sa poskytuje možnosť predikcie charakteru (aj v širšom zmysle) zážitku experientov adaptácií. Keďže podoba tohto zážitku výrazne formuje produkty adaptačného procesu do ich výslednej podoby, model adaptácie ako hry možno aplikovať aj v štandardnom umenovednom úsilí pri interpretácii jednotlivých adaptácií. Model adaptácie ako hry sa v monografii syntetizuje na základe poznatkov rozmanitých disciplín. V okruhu kognitívnych vied pomáhajú východiská filozofie, lingvistiky, informatiky, psychológie, antropológie, biológie či neurovedy – obzvlášť afektívnej neurovedy, ktorá sa zaoberá aj emočným rozmerom hry. V prieniku s podstatnými interdisciplinárnymi zložkami výskumu adaptácií sa vo veľkej miere využívali aj poznatky klasických i kognitívnovedných variácií literárnej vedy, filmovej vedy (miestami aj teatrológie) či mediálnych štúdií. Konzistentne s inými podobnými výsledkami kognitívnych vied sa dokazuje, že aj zdanlivo seriózne adaptácie, podobne ako je to v mnohých aspektoch našej kultúry, majú ludický základ.
