Area of Science:

  • Information Science
  • Systems Theory
  • Cybernetics

Background:

  • Modern information technology presents complex challenges involving human perception, social constructs, and digital systems.
  • Existing frameworks may be reductionistic or Cartesian, failing to capture the full scope of information phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a transdisciplinary, non-Cartesian, and non-reductionistic theoretical framework for information studies.
  • To integrate insights from diverse fields including physics, biology, technology, and social sciences.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesizing pragmatic theories such as second-order cybernetics, autopolesis theory, cognitive semantics, triadic semiotics, and language game theory.
  • Developing a coherent "cybersemiotic" framework.

Main Results:

  • The proposed cybersemiotic framework offers a unified approach to information studies.
  • It addresses the complexities of information in natural, social, and technological systems.

Conclusions:

  • A transdisciplinary approach is necessary to address the challenges of modern information technology.
  • The cybersemiotic framework provides a robust theoretical foundation for future research in information studies.
